Okay, for one, statistical distribution of people in IQ is just a model and doesn't necessarily portray reality. Theoretically, based on normal distribution, you would eventually be able to find a gorilla with the same IQ as Newton, except this can never occur because in the real world there are limitations on the mind of the Gorilla. Its brain is confined by its own body.

Secondarily, I'm assuming a very high threshold for IQ at least in order to be at the same tier as Newton or Galileo. This isn't even considering the kind of personality or whether a bit autism is needed other BIP traits are needed in order to be a genius, I'm literally just considering IQ. Needless to say, other BIP traits needed to be a genius almost certainly vary across the races.

Ignoring pure Blacks for now and instead just considering African-Americans, the rate of 85IQ Blacks assuming 15 S.D. (in real world this is lower) who would have an IQ of at least 180 is 1.2x10^-10. Multiplying that by the Black population (1 billion) there are 0.12 180IQ Black geniuses. Even with these incredibly generous assumptions there literally shouldn't even be any Black geniuses today. You'd need there to be 8.3 billion Blacks for this to even be statistically possible.

Also even if cardio had more than a small relation to intelligence, I wouldn't find this to be surprising.

It could just be that having a healthier body resulted in more intelligence. It doesn't imply that intelligence or intelligence quotients aren't valid, it could just be measuring a real change in intelligence.

Anyway, this is just a side thought, your test had an r^2 value of 0.15 and that's all I wanted to comment on. Also strength had little relation, so I think it has something to do with more oxygen-rich blood pumping through the brain, but this is just conjecture.
