There are genes associated with intelligence, they are what makes humans so much more dangerous than any other creature on earth, and octopi so much more interesting than fish.
More to your point, there are some intelligence genes that some people have and other people don't. They don't solely determine IQ, it's a complex interaction of environment, diet, education, personality, etc., but that's not to say they don't exist.
- joaq 11y agoSo what if someone's more intelligent? There was an experiment showing that super smart people don't have much of an advantage over smart people. Past a certain point it doesn't matter. Most other human attributes that we perceive as desirable like height have their downsides (every extra centimeter takes 3 months away from your life plus many other health problems). I see the opportunity more along the lines of removing health problems such as schizophrenia, etc.
