The last sentence is empirically wrong. The allele frequencies for SNPs associated with intelligence are quite different for the Asian, European, and African population. The attached figures shows alleles associated with schizophrenia, but the same is true for cognitive ability, as the table in the next post shows
You somehow got the inverse of my actual point. EVERY environment selects for greater intelligence. So the genes for it spread and become universal. Unlike the genes for, say, being an excellent swimmer.
