Dutch and Germans on top

The highest European IQs are found amongst the Germans and the Dutch, with an average of 107. The average Frenchman scores 94. The average Turk 90 (Hat tip, JMaria).

The cause for the differences are environmental pressures differing between European populations from one natural environment to another, according to Professor Lynn.

Professor Lynn is also the co-author of "IQ and the wealth of nations".

I guess Turkey will have some trouble participating in a knowledge society, then.
