>Yes, if you take a country's smartest tail enders exclusively they're going to be collectively smart as a group.
and thus you have de facto admitted what the true genetic potential of the group is.
remember, if i take the smartest monkeys, they won't outscore even the dumbest humans.

>But even if average sub-saharan IQ is 80, that's still really low, right? Ha!
Of course. The average IQ (read: a measured value correlated with "intelligence") should obviously be lower in underdeveloped, famine- and war-torn nations.
But if you took those people and raised generations of them in London, what would their IQ measure?
This is what "The Bell Curve" tried to answer. They did some statistical wizardry using Lynn's base figure of 70 and arrived at a calculated mean of 85. And that's where those curves originate.

Of course, if the more accurate correct base figure of 80 is used, the american black IQ might have come up to 95 or higher, which would contradict the agenda of the organization funding all those studies (as well as the book), a single group called the Pioneer Fund. So if we have to take some IQ samples from hospital-bound malaria-afflicted children, so what?

The Asian curve also used Lynn's studies as a base, including a body of studies that have also been debunked. Especially notable is a study that placed Japanese IQ at 111, later debunked by Japanese researchers who found it based on extremely biased samples. But the eugenicist and segregationist agenda desperately needed these results as well, to promote what they perceived as racial "purity".
