IQ is pretty much a bullshit measure that largely correllates to education and economic standing than anything else. There isn't some grand variance in intelligence, actually, what's at play is competing class interests and socioeconomic factors determining diet and access to education.

IQ is generally bullshit. It tests how well people can take specific tests, it doesn't correspond to actual intelligence, and people are far closer in that regard than they like to imagine.
