IQ by Country - Whites are not the highest

[d08]

this is misleading, the usa and uk have a lot of non whites living in their countries.
i agree with the bat eating.
that said, asians in the US do place a lot of emphasis on education.

It won't change the numbers that much. You can take a look at countries that are 99%+ native/Caucasian in Europe and they have similar numbers (roughly around 100).

The Flynn effect explains why poorer average quality of life countries, not especially genetics (has some bearing but minor and is connected to poor developmental diet) results these score differences.

When a country's fortunes change very quickly in 10-20 years the IQ results improve dramatically.

Ireland was a good example of this, students testing poorly in the 1960s but equalling neighbours by the late 1980s. Parents who have reached 3rd level influence their kids expectations of themselves in performing better as well. However good your brain is, its performance varies greatly with disciplined use.

Genetics accounts for about 75% of IQ, there's little to know argument about this. You could also argue that why hasn't IQ gone up in countries in the Middle East (UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia) when their "fortunes" have turned around completely.
To me it's quite clear that countries with higher IQ populations create better conditions, not vice versa.
My theory is that if you cleared up a country in Africa of natives, replaced with East Asians, that country would be relatively wealthy within 1-2 generations. Over time the evolutionary pressure for higher IQ might ease up and fortunes might dwindle but that's a longer process.

What country in Europe is 99%+ Caucasian?

What country in Europe is 99%+ Caucasian?

Baltics or Poland for example. It's changing but it's still about the same. You could also look at Finland 20 years ago.

Other factors. Blacks also vote 70%+ democrat. Nice try though.

Less than 1/3 of them voted democrat in the 1990s.

Saint Lucia boasts the second highest ratio of Nobel laureates produced with respect to the total population of any sovereign country in the world. Two winners have come from Saint Lucia: Sir Arthur Lewis won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1979, and the poet Derek Walcott received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1992.
