The latest findings on race, genes and intelligence show that the gap in intelligence between Europeans and Africans is caused partly by irreducible genetic factors. These findings conclusively put an end to the theory that the gap is caused solely by socio-economic factors. The following genes are present in at least one third of the European population and are known to increase intelligence with genome-wide levels of significance: SNP Distribution: rs708913 (A) Europeans are 341% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs1044258 (T) Europeans are 470% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs1487441 (A) Europeans are 156% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs1800668 (A) Europeans are 59% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs2099744 (A) Europeans are 123% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs2364543 (T) Europeans are 113% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs2899319 (A) Europeans are 214% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs4314918 (A) Europeans are 337% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs6535809 (A) Europeans are 650% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs6546856 (T) Europeans are 418% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs7963801 (T) Europeans are 2985% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs9388490 (T) Europeans are 121% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs11793831 (T) Europeans are 350% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs13428598 (T) Europeans are 417% more likely to have this gene than Africans rs17048855 (A) Europeans are 595% more likely to have this gene than Africans >>The following genes are present in at least one third of the African population and are known to decrease intelligence with genome-wide levels of significance: SNP Distribution rs1245213 (A) Africans are 233% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs1346075 (T) Africans are 65% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs1972863 (A) Africans are 126% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs2416114 (T) Africans are 91% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs2420551 (A) Africans are 399% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs4325706 (T) Africans are 81% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs4640173 (A) Africans are 118% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs6736129 (A) Africans are 163% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs7019796 (T) Africans are 134% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs8138473 (T) Africans are 103% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs9755750 (A) Africans are 162% more likely to have this gene than Europeans rs9939991 (A) Africans are 135% more likely to have this gene than Europeans Key points: • These genes are known to influence mainly the hippocampus, brain, limbic system, central nervous system, cerebral cortex, cerebrum, parahippocampal gyrus, telencephalon, temporal lobe, brain stem, prosencephalon, rhombencephalon, occipital lobe, cerebellum, visual cortex, parietal lobe, retina, basal ganglia, neural stem cells, corpus striatum and frontal lobe. • These genes alone account already for roughly two thirds of one standard deviation in cognitive ability. • These genes are at least 50% more likely to exist in one population than in the other, can be found in at least one third of either population, and positively affect Europeans or negatively affect Africans. More than 200 genes that meet these requirements can be conservatively estimated to exist. • The differences between populations might be even larger since the African sample included cohorts with European admixture.
