The only problem with this statement is that I have also spent time around people who were young and bright. They definitely showed great potential. But due to environment, 10-15 years later, I feel that their IQ may have actually dropped or at least not developed to reach it's full potential.
All this to say, I'm not combatting the notion that genetics plays a role, but am suggesting there is more to the picture.
