Ask HN: Is IQ hereditary?

2 points by limeblack 8y ago ↗ HN

I have been reading several different sites and there seems to be a consensus that IQ is at least partially hereditary.

There have been some studies that even suggest it is linked to the mothers IQ.

Is this a foolish assumption?

You're likely not going to get anything better here than from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ .
