The score that Richard Lynn initially obtained for Italy that he reported in IQ and the Wealth of Nations no doubt comes from northern Italy. His subsequent research has shown that within the country, there appears to be a decline of at least 5 IQ points as you from north to south. Southern Italians seem to have greater North African admixture, as do all Southern Europeans (~10% for the Portuguese, for example).That hardly matters. That ranking doesn't distinguish between Bavaria or Thuringia nor Manchuria or Sichuan (or wherever China's Dumbfuckistan is) either. The fact remains that when it comes to IQ, no people on Earth exceed that of the residents of Italy except for those in five East Asian countries/entities. Your analysis about Northern and Southern Italy is also widely off the mark since the majority of African and Middle Eastern immigrants to Italy are concentrated in the North. Considering that immigrants are about 7.5% of the Italian population as a whole, they are probably more than twice that % in the north which makes the north much more genetically African than whatever latent genetic material Southerners may have from the Saracens of 700 years ago. |
