Mostly*, fixed that for you. Like, between 60 and 90% based on twin studies alone. In addition, Harvard has developed a genetic test that is predictive of IQ, albeit a bit weak currently. As we gain more understanding of what other genes play a role in neural development, that test will become much stronger. I'd also like to point out measurable differences in brain architecture that exist between groups of people, including between racial and ethnic groups. For example, Africans have fewer convolutions in their cortex, which indicates less processing power.
What does IQ have to do with human worth? Why are we deciding who to keep and who to kill based on a rough and unreliable measurement of intelligence?
I'm going to take a shot in the dark: You judge your own worth based on your intelligence. You think that because you're smarter than everyone else that you deserve to live more than them.
In an apocalypse scenario, I'd recruit from the ghetto before I picked your egghead ass. You'd be calculating the trajectory of a bullet before it passes through your brain and wipes out all your progress.
There, fixed that for you.
Stefan Molyneux has repeatedly said that IQ is about 80% genetic from the early teens

Why Cognitive Inequality Matters
20% is difference between being average and being retarded. But, yall get my point :)
