Rant Mathematical excellence thanks to genetics

elaborating more on the title
is excellence at mathematical and other calculus really dependent on how your brain got wired at birth?
at first view and much more probably the truth, it's really dependent on it, mathematicians, physicians, chemists and other men that worked in that kind of field most often came from the same field and even some groups on non-whites excel at such things both in antiquity and today, it's undoubtedly related to your ancestry
my counter-argument would be 'dormant' mental prowess, some people obviously suck at such things but when you give them a reason or objective they're completely complacent for they can actually perform well at such tasks, and when they're relaxed or not under pressure from superiors they have a clearer mind to proceed nicely
would also explain how some groups are clearly more skilled in design and logic whereas others are much more liberal in their interpretations of life's workings and can't care more about deeper concepts such as the laws of physics, art of sums or the beautiful symmetry and complexity of architecture and technology, perhaps it may be because of an old historical mass depression? because certain people find more reasons for progress or because they find more value on it than others? i really want an answer to this that's not just being brutalistic and saying that a good portion of the entire world populace is composed of retards unable to keep society working, and with the current situation of ethnic demographics it really just gets more depressing

tl;dr: is analytic and logical prowess really that dependent of genes or is there some form of mental prowess on challenged groups that we just haven't realized how to access?
 
It’s mostly genetic, but environment does play a role. Intelligence is heavily tied to brain structure and inherited traits. Some populations have been under strong selective pressure for analytical thinking, while others have prioritized different skill sets. This doesn’t mean every person from a low-average IQ group is doomed to be that way, but the distribution curves give you a general idea.

High-pressure environments can push them to perform above their baseline, but that doesn’t change the underlying averages. And yes, historical factors like selective pressures or cultural values can shift group tendencies over time, but it's not possible that it can completely override genetics.

As for the last part, society is clearly structured around those with higher cognitive ability, and as demographic changes accelerate, we’re seeing the consequences of intelligence distribution in real time. Some groups have historically done this better than others, and the results speak for themselves.

Those are the exceptions, not the norm.

Isn’t it obvious. IQ tells us the capacity a person has for understanding deeper concepts. It’s like trying to explain to an ant what 1+1 is.

what i meant is is there really a way for ethnics to brainmaxx
also ants carry pebbles and food remains all the time im pretty sure they know how to do preschool math atleast
