> how did japs go from an iq of 80 to one of the smartest races in the world if iq is genetics and genetics only? iq is principally influenced by genetics, there's no getting around that. japan simply industrialized and had access to western medicine post-war, allowing the majority of nips to reach complete brain development. genetics conducive to high intelligence don't mean shit when you have widespread stunted growth from malnutrition and have worms/malaria constantly frying your brain as a child.
