or why the Ashkenazim Jews have the highest IQ of all peoples..
Probably not, keep in mind that Israel scores a more modest 94 - 95 IQ.
In Israel, 2.8 million are of full or partial Ashkenazim Jewish descent. Israel's population is 8.38. So that explains it.
So, why are other Jews of modest intelligence?
Shouldn't have Ashkenazi Jews regressed to the Jewish mean?
Besides, Ashkenazi Jews have smaller cranial capacity than Europeans.
Jews make up only 0.2% of the world population, yet comprise 22% of Nobel laureates. But the latter are Ashkenazim. So their number is even smaller than 0.2%. The breeding program among the Ashkenazim resulted in several genetic diseases, however (cf. Wikipedia). /MW
East Germans seem to have the best intellectual profile, rather than Ashkenazi Jews.
East Germans probably amounted to 25 million, when you accounted for ones in present East German, and also Eastern European territories.\
Yes, that's higher than the amount of Ashkenazi Jews.
However, the accomplishments of East Germans seems to be much more well rounded, and impressive than those of Ashkenazi Jews.
