This is social "science", it really doesn't matter what they claim to say. Genetic can affect processing speed, memory capacity and things like that but intelligence, as understood in common language, is all about your capacity to solve problems. The more problems you can solve, the more intelligent you are. For this, I consider answering a knowledge question a problem (what's the speed of light for example). The most important thing to solve problems are STRATEGY first then number of accumulated fact + practice. This can come from parenting but it's really about being exposed to the right things and a grind mentality. Specifically, math and computer science gives you problem solving strategies applicable to anything.. and what do Asians have in common?.. Look, imagine 2 computers. One has the latest tech. The other is last gen but only slightly slower than the newer one. You run a horribly coded program on the fast computer but a perfectly coded program on the slow computer. What happens? Which PC complete the program first? Because the difference in computing power is only slightly different, it's safe to assume that the slow PC complete first.

Also another thing.. if it's extremely heritable, why can you train for it? Anyone can join faggot Mensa by practicing the IQ style of questions. That means that there is a way to increase IQ through knowledge. It is then plausible that certain types of knowledge have overlap with what you need to ace IQ tests (math and CS stuff)...
