Are you intentionally giving a sarcastic example to show how shoddy IQ science is?
> Honestly, this could be put to rest fairly "easily" (obviously this wouldn't be that easy and is never going to happen) if you took 1000 expectant mother's who have just become pregnant from Equatorial Guinea and transplanted them to various wealthy countries.
Even if you got full consent for everyone involved, can you not see the absolutely massive confounding factors around cultural support? To do this experiment, you'd have to cover up all the physical differenes beween the Guineans and the locals (including visual appearance and phemeromones and gut biology), adopt the babies into local families without their knowledge, and never telal anyone what happened, without adding other confounds.
- fastball 7y agoThere is little-to-no evidence that IQ test performance is based on anything learned, so I don't see why any of that would be necessary.
