Sorry to further dogpile on your comment, but I just realised what it is that
bothers me with discussions of IQ and race: it&#x27;s that IQ is a proxy. It&#x27;s a
stand-in for something we can&#x27;t directly observe and therefore cannot measure,
or even fully define.<p>Which means, it&#x27;s _very_ difficult to see how &quot;IQ&quot; itself would be an inherited
trait, seeing as it&#x27;s not a trait at all. It&#x27;s not even a thing at all. All that
IQ is, entirely literally, is a score on some test that some people have taken.<p>I mean, I hope it&#x27;s obvious how it&#x27;s completely ridiculous to believe that you
can pass on your score at a test to your offspring, right?
