Of course intelligence is heritable. The directional selection on human brain size over the last few million years is dramatic. The people over at the New Yorker apparently have no idea how evolution works.
Jesse Singal@jessesingal· 29 mars 2024The New Yorker, on Jon Haidt: "He has been beset by a troubling fixation on the heritability of I.Q.—a contention widely dismissed as scientific racism"
This is completely false. The heritability of intelligence is accepted by mainstream researchers. The debate is over *race*.

Humans are weaker and slower than other mammals. If it were not for intelligence, we would have long since died out.
Intelligence has obviously been the primary evolutionary vector for humans. What is underappreciated is how much happened in the last 10k years.
There was an intelligence explosion ~6k years ago with sudden development of writing, agriculture, elementary math, etc.
All that said, our little meat computers are just the biological bootloaders for digital superintelligence.
