The Genomics of Human Local Adaptation

"In recent years, new methods to identify the genomic signatures of natural selection underlying these adaptations, combined with novel types of genetic data (eg, ancient DNA), have provided unprecedented insights into the origin of adaptive alleles and the modes of adaptation."

A study that investigated whether two early nutritional interventions might influence long-term outcomes like intelligence in a sub-Saharan African population found that they "did not have a large effect on development outcomes."

Can You Ever Be Too Smart for Your Own Good? Comparing Linear and Nonlinear Effects of Cognitive Ability on Life Outcomes

"We found no support for any downside to higher [IQ] and no evidence for a threshold beyond which greater scores cease to be beneficial. Thus, greater cognitive ability is generally advantageous—and virtually never detrimental."

The Flynn effect is "independent of general intelligence." It results from (1) environmental improvements negatively related to test g loading (and therefore heritability), and (2) an increase in the number of correct answers simply via enhanced guessing.

Controlling for increased guessing enhances the independence of the Flynn effect from g: The return of the Brand effect

A 2008 experts survey found agreement that general intelligence "is an important, non-trivial determinant (or at least predictor) of important real world outcomes for which there is no substitute," and that IQ tests "are generally free from racial bias."

Genetic differentiation between races is greater than previously thought.

"Notably, our new approach estimates larger FST values of 26% for native worldwide human populations... whereas the existing approach estimates 9.8%."
