True.

I thought we did this bell curve thing decades ago. This fella has let his profession dictate his logic, trying to find the genetic reason for something that is clearly environmental. While he does make a point that geographic separation could play a part, the only separation that's shown to make a difference in intelligence is education/social class. Likewise, physical strength will be different in a working class versus ruling class, all things equal. It's like a mathematician trying to find equations for emotions, some things can not be covered in your chosen expertise.
