Fun fact actually: The studies done on the polygenic score in 2019, in Piffer's newest study of 1,267 SNPs associated with intelligence found something very very interesting: The study found a correlation of .89 in a sample of 23 nations between national IQ and a population's mean polygenic score.
What this means is that the polygenic score accounts for 79% of the variance in IQ between nations.
79%
I found it interesting that it matches up exactly with the twin studies' assumption of 80% heritability.
GWAS based qualitative genetics will always be off compared to quantitative until we literally “find the genes.” We can only explain like 30% of the variance of height right now using qualitative genetics but you would be called a fool to think that height is only .3 heritable. It’s more around .9 as shown by quantitative genetic studies. Using qualitative genetics when it is so relatively young is dangerous because some shitlib will keep saying “find the genes” forever and moving the goalposts. Top down measurement is more than enough when it comes to things like race and IQ.

Its not just IQ, its also Antisocial Personality Disorder and the dark triad, the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.

It’s everything. Everything is genetic. Westerners don’t like to believe this but it’s true.

twin studies suggest that roughly 80 % of who you are is genetic and the other 20 % is due to environment.

It is kind of hard there of course, because there are like a thousand genes associated with intelligence.
Yeah, I just thought it was interesting
