However, I do believe intelligence is molded by both DNA and the environment, they work hand in hand. The expression of DNA is impacted by our environment via eppigenetics. Our brains are built and developed by neurons turning DNA into proteins that become ligand gated ion channels and ligand gated GPCR receptors driving the electrical signals of neurotransmission and plasticity.
Yes it was a joke.

I’m not denying that at all, just arguing social determinism is a much stronger factor on whether you’ll get a Nobel Prize.
