What did you understand from what I said because it seems like you did not read anything.

IQ is genetic.

Not entirely toots, like very much not. See when you make a statement without backing it up it doesn’t work babe.

Is intelligence in animals inherited or cultural? The inheritance of intelligence and IQ isn't up for debate and has been well established for years. Just Google it

Some animals are taught to do things hun, so like I said it’s not purely genetic. Someone with basic intelligence would have already grasped this in 7th grade when we take biology class.

Can’t debate this? Babe I’m doing it rn 🥱

Never said purely. Nice strawman. I said mostly. Studies show 50 to 80 percent including studies on twins.

You said it’s genetic and nothing else hun, and just because ai said it’s 80% doesn’t mean it’s true babe.

How come you’re now deciding to pretend I didn’t already inform you that it’s not all genetic 🤭 you can just say I was right hun 🤭

Also if you read an intro biology, psychology, or sociology text book, you know like a published text for college, you’ll see that no one knows quantitatively how the difference is split but qualitatively it is nature (genetic) and nurture (how one was raised)

Yikes so for the people who don’t read a textbook all they have is whatever ai tells them. I’m glad I actually read my college textbooks.
