Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The observed ethnic differences in average intelligence are largely attributed to cultural factors such as socioeconomic status, access to education, and cultural beliefs about the value of education. While some argue that genetics may play a role, there is little empirical evidence to support this claim. The cognitive and evolutionary factors are not directly related to ethnic differences in intelligence.
