So if you have two parents with the same unusually high iq, it's likely that the child regressed to the mean because the environmental luck isn't necessarily going to be there. But I assumed that genetics played a role too. Can't you randomly get recessive iq genes that don't match between the parents, in what is expressed in the child? If it's recessive it's quite unlikely your parents will somehow match so most of the children should be dumber.

Wow—what a crunchy little treatise!
This is a good explanatory article, but the LaTeX with a white background in dark mode looks ugly. Did you import those images or is Substack dumb?
