How is it possible that the average IQ of the people of Qatar is lower than those of Yemen?

I answer myself: good alleles act independently of the place, and contrary to what one thinks the effect of poverty on development is much more limited than is believed.

Multiple reasons possible. Problem not solvable.

Probably higher SSA admixture

A population is actually smarter than another as a result of higher SSA mix? Would it be the first and only known case of this?

Quite a low IQ in Qatar. 78?! I knew about the low IQ of SSA Africans and Australian Aborigines but this is quite a shocker for Qatar.

Is this a byproduct of their consanguineous marriages? They are very inbred in contemporary times and ''keeping it in your family''

is known to impair it for your offspring.

Why do people still keep posting that outdated list

Simple answer: Oil.

I asked the question as an attack on those who support a primarily environmental cause of human differences. The non-genetic factors that contribute to covariance seem totally irrelevant between the various contexts of the planet, and the fact that the IQ does not vary even as a function of such extreme differences suggests that even highly correlated traits do not vary as a function of such extreme differences , and this in turn indicates that the total lack of influence of the variance component in studies of compelling genetics that takes the name of a shared environment continues even between vastly different contexts.

This case is overwhelming.

I think they are mating schemes.
