The Ashkenazi Jewish IQ is almost certainly not in the 110s. If you accept Israel's average IQ of 95, then the non-ashk IQ would have to be perilously low for the country's mean to be 95. If, however, you attribute Arab level IQ averages to the non-ashk population, then you get an Ashkenazi average of around 100, which is much more likely. The studies which concluded that Jews have super high IQs are few in number and were not based on random samples.
Polygenic scores for education attainment ( PC way of saying g) suggests Ashkenazi's IQ is in the 110s. It's higher than east asian's who we know has an IQ higher than the white British average. For Israel's average IQ, you should use their own psychometric examinations. Ashkenazi scores are almost a SD higher than Sephardic or white russian. Ashkenazi and serphardi/white mixes are an intermediate between the two.
Polygenic scores will be the end all be all of this debate for determining a populations avg intelligence. The kinks should be worked out by 2030.
They produce exponentially more gifted people, hence outsized representation in nobel STEM prize awards, chess and bridge players (when they were trendy). You can find that pattern in USA, UK, Canada, even South Africa somewhat. An IQ in the 110s explains most of their exceptionalism. An IQ of 100 does not. Is there some corrupt, dishonest tactics at play? Probably, but it can't account for their outsized contribution being the same ratio as their per capita of 145+ IQ people versus the white british average. In the western diaspora, very high secular intermarriage, and the extremely religious Ashkenazi % growing, their critical mass of non-handicapped Ashkenazi will probably be lost. The 1/2 NW euro and 1/2 Ashkenazi mixes will have an average IQ in the mid 100s, that's really good! They are racially like North Italians. I don't mind accepting them as one of our own.
It's does not feel good to admit inferiority in this department, but you have to be willfully blind to think otherwise dude. You know g predicts socio-economic performance minus handicaps. Upper class white IQ and Ashkenazi IQ is probably very similar. If we went ham and multipled the far right side of our bell curve, let's say we cucked out and assisted 145 IQ people in reproducing enough so that our 145+ IQ per capita is higher than the Ashkenazi, then we'd blow them out the water even if our average IQ barely went up. As a white group with 145 IQ avg has a different bell curve than a white 100 average. So we'd produce white induividuals who might have an IQ that's 175-190 (although IQ tests have a ceiling, so the current one would need to be standardized to 145 IQ being the new 100).
This all came from selection pressures, they are part of the same genetic cluster as south italians, but they have a 20 IQ point gap and are more depigmented.
And weren't the ruling class of India, those who arrived from the west - "the real aryans" as Pajeet would put it - but over time their attempts to remain fully racially distinct from the dark hordes collapsed?
And my own theory is that raw cognitive computing power does not explain why huwhites build beautiful societies and invent stuff. I think Europeans have some sort of in-built obsession with improvement and innovation that exists almost independently of their high IQs.
The real Aryans were the Andronovo culture. They are part of the western steppe herder genetic cluster. Most of that genetic cluster went extinct except for the EEF rich fringes. Only some North European induividuals are part of the WSH genetic cluster. The early corded ware culture average IQ was 88-91 from polygenic scores by Reichlab. Andronovo is probably in the low 90s as caucasians typically got smarter every 1000 years. And yes, the Aryans were mostly had Nordic physical appearances. Blonde hair, then red hair was most frequent. They are the fairest of the WSH populations.
Almost all European ancestry is derived from Early european farmers and WSH. EEF is 80% neolithic anatolian farmer and 20% Western hunter gatherer on average). NAF literally started early civilization with the neolithic revolution. Generally people of NW european and North Italian descent pioneered many tech revolutions that changed modes of living and ultimately caused an exponential population growth. I'm sure east central europeans and NE europeans could do something similar.
British Isles natives are special, as that was the last stop in the EEF migration train. And the Indo-european descendent migrants (with admixtures similar to NW europeans) learned their culture and incorporated it as they assimilated. The English started the industrial revolution, and pretty much mixed with every population out there... making them the spirtual successor to the neolithic anatolian farmer
We also revolutionized transportation just like the WSH did, which revolutionized warfare and the economy. We also spread our language, values, theories and ideologies everywhere alongside with models for others to at least partially copy from.
TL;DR we simply just walked in both of our ancestor's footsteps. Hence our legacy just being a blend of theirs.
Sardinians are 75%+ neolithic anatolian farmer. They are the only surviving branch of EEF in the entire world. The island's isolatation protecting them from extinction. Go youtube a walk in Sardinia video, and look at the natives. Remember, they don't look like Jews, Arabs, Italians or whatever... Those groups look like THEM. They are 9k+ years old, most west eurasian populations were formed in the bronze age or iron age. They predate both eras by 1000s of years.
