Asians have identical IQs and we are still not sure how much is nature vs nuture. For example white people had a base IQ about identical to that of Africans during the first world War. We have to make IQ tests harder every year to keep the mean at 100. That does not explain why Asians that live in formally poverty stricken areas like China and Vietnam maintained a high IQ though, even through their years of trouble that kept up with the European baseline. Of course all of this is going to be mute soon anyway once crispr rolles out. We will see western backlash at first to genetic engineering, but that will be mitigated quickly once we see the Chinese give zero shits about giving their people genetic enhancements. Of course by the time we do start and contain the conscientious objectors that slowed us down it may be too late. They will have been experimenting with crispa based ability enhancement for 20 years already and we can expect their progress to increase in an exponential fashion once it takes off (intelligence making even greater intelligence). As such they may already be in a paradigm shift once we get our shit together.
