Notes
I find myself using lots of “scare quotes” because often the definitions of words are unambiguously and explicitly stated.
In any case, something as “simple” as height is genetically complex, with associations between height and body shape, and influenced by hundreds to thousands of genes. see: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/11/landmark-study-resolves-major-mystery-how-genes-govern-human-height. Surely intelligence (assuming it is one thing) is as complex.
