Mass media journalist ?! You obviously did not read the article. You are just another illiterate moron on this forum :
I called up Yaniv Erlich, the scientist who wrote the intelligence program [from DNA.land --JamesBond007], to ask him about his prediction. Erlich, I should point out, majored in computational neuroscience, got a Ph.D. in genetics, became an associate professor at Columbia, and is on leave from teaching to serve as the chief science officer at the DNA-testing company MyHeritage. I imagine Erlich’s mother is very proud of her boy.
I bring all this up because Erlich burst out laughing when I told him about my report and told me about his own.
“I also get that on the left side,” he said. “Everything is cool. Many smart people end up there.”
Erlich explained that he designed the program to make people cautious about the connection between genes and intelligence. All those disclaimers and notes that surrounded the bell curve were intended to show that these predictions are, in a sense, worse than just wrong. They’re practically meaningless.
