Subpopulations can be physically and temporally distributed amongst the greater population. As long as breeding is not statistically independent of intelligence, there will be a tendency for intelligence-related genes to clump together.
- danieltillett 11y agoThis is true, but to get extreme outlier sub-populations for a mulit-gene trait like intelligence would require pretty effective isolation. For any sub-population to be large enough to affect the distribution of intelligence across the human population, yet be able to maintain this isolation, is very unlikely.
