You're only mentioning our CURRENT adolescence in this field. Dozens of genes associated with intelligence have already been identified and hereditary studies have already shown intelligence's genetic roots. A geneticist today can no more just "pick and choose" to enhance the intellect of an embryo anymore than Isaac Newton could have just manually entangled two photons, or Alan Turing could have fit something over a billion times more powerful than one of his Bombe machines into a sleek gadget the size of a wallet (with also remote telephony and photographic capabilities!).
This is how science works, humanity learns more and progresses. Just because something is complex to you today doesn't mean it will still be complex to you 50 years from now.
