The concept of regression to the mean
---
What this says is that if a population has 100IQ, and a guy with 160IQ marries a 100IQ woman
the IQ of the child will be 112
Meaning the IQ of the child will regress 80% to the mean of that population
meaning the iQ of the child will reflect the real IQ of the population
In the US we have an interesting situation,
High IQ, professionals were selectively imported post 1965 from all countries
But in the second generation, the real stars are the Indian diaspora
equal to the jews in SAT and beyond the jews in medical college admissions etc
Which means the caste IQ of the US diaspora NRI is really at the jewish levels
Which is why the descendants of other countries are not doing too well
