Keep arguing an unrelated point I see :)

Anyway, on the point at issue, IQ is at least 50% correlated with genetics:

   https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/understanding/traits/intelligence/

      Many studies rely on a measure of intelligence called the intelligence
      quotient (IQ). Researchers have conducted many studies to look for genes
      that influence intelligence. ... These studies suggest that genetic
      factors underlie about 50 percent of the difference in intelligence among
      individuals.
