Intelligence: Intelligence is influenced by many factors, as you know. There is not any good science that I know of that would help answer your question. Genetic contribution does not take into account early development experiences, environment and other factors. It is true that certain features have strong genetic links, but when considering the Average and above intelligence, many more factors play a role.
