Reddit reviews From Chance to Choice: Genetics & Justice

Yeah Einstein, that's why some of the folks I'm relating to won Nobel Prizes and you are academically jerking off typing here on Reddit et al.! Btw. even your own "Debunking" table that you posted shows China as Nr. 6 on IQ and only 1,374 $ income, just as I mentioned before and the other high income countries accordingly. Studies vary slightly but even yours proves again the high correlation between higher IQ x higher income. And regarding Israel and the topic of ethnicity among them read below.

ASHKENAZI  JEWS**: Unlike the “average” Jew in Israel whose IQ is given above as 94, the Ashkenazi Jew is said to have an average IQ of 110-115, sometimes as high as 117. This is 10 points above the Hong Kong Chinese (107), 20 points above the Canadians (97), 30 points above the Mexicans (87), and 50 points above the Nigerians (67).

>“The 2005 paper “Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence” by [Cochran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Cochran), Hardy, and [Harpending](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Harpending), argued on the basis of inherited diseases and the peculiar economic situation of Ashkenazi Jews in [medieval Europe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages), that Ashkenazi Jews as a group now inherit a cognitive profile that includes higher [verbal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbal_intelligence) and [mathematical](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical) intelligence than other ethnic groups, along with lower [spatial intelligence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_intelligence).
One observational basis for inferring that Ashkenazi Jews have high intelligence is their prevalance in intellectually demanding fields. From 1901–2010, 21.5% of Nobel prize winners were Jewish, while Jews make up a much smaller fraction of the population of the countries represented. For example, 36% of Nobel prize winners from the [United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) have been Jewish, while Jews make up 2.1% of the U.S. population.
G. Cochran, J. Hardy and H. Harpending additionally cite the disproportionately high percentage of [Ashkenazi Chess Grandmasters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_chess_players) and [Fields Medalists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_Medal) in mathematics, as well as winners of the [Turing Award](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_Award) in computer science.
Their median IQ is calculated at 117 in [From Chance to Choice: Genetics and Justice](https://www.amazon.com/Chance-Choice-Genetics-Justice/dp/0521660017) (2000), published by Cambridge University Press. This is 10 points higher than the generally-accepted IQ of their closest rivals—Northeast Asians—and almost 20% higher than the global average.”**
