Ok, just because I was Jewish 300 years ago it doesn't mean that me, being a genius like I am, is because of my Jewish ancestry. LOL! My forefathers were Jewish until Portugal kicked them out of the country -and their colonies.

Seriously. 50% is inherited from environment and the time, money and effort parents invest on their offspring. The other 50% comes from genetic material. I agree that there are people more endowed than others and they will surely profit from their brain power. A less brain-endowed guy who is hardworking, wakes up 2 hours earlier and goes to bed two hours later will take a share of material wealth as much as a more intelllegent guy, who goes to university and is lazy resting in his diploma seeing it as a passport to the elite. A less brain-endowed guy who is humble, will listen more and will suck much more efficienlty the more clever guys' brains -for practical purpise- and will catch up and may even overtake their 'mentors'. A more brain-endowed guy who is arrogant, will talk more than listen has a bigger chance of falling flat on his ass. We do not have a lineage of Geniuses. How comes all great football players, musicians and Newtons, Einsteins and supermodels do not produce a lineage of the same caliber as their predecessors. The daughter of Gisele and that American football player will not come out ugly but surely won't be supermodel or center back of an American football team. Agassy and Steffi Graf offsprings will play tennis average
