/sci/ - Science & Math

I've seen here in /sci/ all that cratchy IQ thing is considered very important. Heck, I've even seen an anon telling someone to "forget being a theoretical physicist and focus instead on engineering".

So, here's my question to all of you... What's the minimal IQ required to be theoretical physicist? Depending on your veredict I might consider droping out and work in a Burger King instead (not really).

What Dr. Lahn told his audience was that genetic changes over the past several thousand years might be linked to brain size and intelligence. He flashed maps that showed the changes had taken hold and spread widely in Europe, Asia and the Americas, but weren't common in sub-Saharan Africa.

Yet today, Dr. Lahn says he is moving away from the research. "It's getting too controversial," he says.

He personally believes it is possible that some populations will have more advantageous intelligence genes than others. And he thinks that "society will have to grapple with some very difficult facts" as scientific data accumulate. Yet Dr. Lahn, who left China after participating in prodemocracy protests, says intellectual "police" in the U.S. make such questions difficult to pursue.
