I should be more clear...I do do a bit of reading on the subject, I put those out as a small example, and rather than stating "the test said I had X" I overstated... "has" sorry... But one of the biggest differences in scores was on the same test (oddly, worse the second time through).... my SAT varried nearly 200 points with no prep in between.... my point is that within a given individual IQ varies quite a bit and that, coupled with the Flynn Effect, IQ and even intelligence in general is way more complex than one might think. And, the Flynn Effect alone shows that any speculations on natural seleciton and IQ are worth very little. Further the fact that there is statistical coralations over cross sections of people who share very little geneticly (ie, "Black" is a heterogenous mixture of European, African, Native American, Indian and even Asian decent) shows that the most likely correct interpretation of this data is that being an underclass in a society has a negative affect on IQ... reread some of Phil's "studies" that he links to, and you will see this strong coralation.... the imigrant Chinese and native Malaysians for example.
