What do evolutionary biologists, neuroscientists and other related subfields think of IQ tests as an accurate measurement of intellectual capacity?
Is there any reason to believe that human ethnic groups evolved genetically to have different average intellectual capacities?

IQ doesn't mean shit.
My IQ is probably around 100. I've rarely met another person as perceptive to meta-physics as me, it's not magic....just physics.

Not-OP but I fucking hate IQ posts so I won't create another one.
What do Gaussians say about the relative percentage of IQ geniuses?
Say we have two populations whose IQ distribution is a Gaussian, both with variance 1, but blue people have mean 90 while red people have mean 100.
If a genius is someone whose IQ>G, then how does (% blue G's)/(% red G's) behave? Say, eg for G=150. And 160? etc.
>I fucking hate IQ posts
why
There will never, ever, be an einstein with an IQ of
Oh look, its this thread. AGAIN.
The same thread we've had everyday for the past 10 years.

It varies and despite the belief that scientists are often objective, it will normally be a combination of what they've read, how high their IQ is, how intelligent they believe they are and with race, how they see other races and their relationship with people of other races. This is often applicable to both sides people who see and don't see racial differences.
tl;dr: People and scientists think they're none emotional, they are they're likely to mix in their logic and education in with personal emotions.
Also this guy has a point.
So I did the math and... If IQ was represented by the Gaussian exp(-t^2). If blacks have an average IQ of 0 and whites of 1/8. Let E(t) be the percentage of blacks with IQ>t. We note E(2)=0.23%, let's pick 2 as the minimum IQ for geniuses.
How many geniuses do blacks have? E(2)=0.23% How many geniuses do whites have? E(2+1/8)= 0.13% About double. So difference of 1/8 in IQ creating double the geniuses. Double is pretty small. I don't know. Someone smart help me out please.
Note: I define E(t)=(erf(-t+c)+1)/2. Or some shit like that. I don't know.
>Are factually wrong.
I didn't assert shit, and yet I'm factually wrong. If you're going to kill yourself please don't leave it for tomorrow.
They tend to be boring. Btw do you know what race realists mean by regression to the mean? Do they mean that the IQ of two white geniuses will tend to regress to average IQ of whites? Because this seems wrong. Because I don't see the utility of the correct non-fallacious regression to the mean, to race realists.
What I said was factually true therefore any diverging opinions are not based on fact>false.
