The majority of nations with higher scores have colder winter climates and relatively mild summer climates.
I've always maintained that the intelligence of people who live in year round hot climates is dulled by the heat. That study seems to back that up.

The depends on what people mean by "hot climate". If talking about places like Washington DC going down south in the summer with its bad humidity, I'd have to agree. But California along the coast has warm weather 12 months out of the year but very few real hot days.
Word is those places with lots of rivers did have the rep of doing better even 200 years ago over drier places with no rivers.

It's not just a matter of living in a colder or warmer climate for just a few decades or even centuries and probably wouldn't apply today with modern technology not allowing the less resourceful to be weeded out in cold climates though. These groups evolved over 10,000's possibly 100,000's of years in different climates and different environments. For example, Europeans are related to ice age hunters that were in Europe at least 50k years ago and admixture of Neanderthals another human race in Europe ~200-300k years ago, and other ancient human groups. Not to mention centuries to thousands of years of living in different societies. There's evidence some of the races could possible be separated by more than 150k years but up to 1.8 million years but not enough for full speciation.
But idiotic progressives are bent on trying to undue what nature did over millennia and that can only be done once.

I thought you guys don't believe the Earth is older than 6000 years?
It doesn't shock me. There are many people, of all ethnicities, who deal in broad strokes. It is easy and it doesn't require much thought. Just an irrational way of doing things. Dealing with people as individuals requires one to think for themselves, to be rational, to have critical thinking skills.
The broad strokes I see here reflects what is already in our society. The difference is that many people would not say everything they think out in public.
We are talking about large groups of people, not individuals. The difference seems to be lost on many.
So... all conservatives do believe in what the bible says?
That's a weird question: not all conservatives are "Christians" and not all Christians take the Bible word for word partly because they're several "Bibles" out there. King James and Revised Standard are def different.
Uh; not all "conservatives" don't believe in what the "Bible" says.
Same with me. My "Good Book" is The Prince by Machiavelli.
