Actually, Richard Lynn claims that there is an increase in intelligence in Italy as you go from south to north, and he suspect it's because southern Italians are more intermixed with North Africans (Arabs, Berbers, etc...) (where as northern Italy is more Germanic in descent like Germans and the English). But if this is true, it appears to be a small difference, perhaps smaller than the difference between the English and the Scottish/Irish. Mediterranean Europeans in general have slightly lower average IQ's than northern Europeans, and perhaps this is indeed due to admixture from North Africans from the south (particularly during the conquests of the Caliphate and subsequent waves of Muslim invasions). But even Sicilian Americans are doing fine (I'm not going to speculate how they climbed up the ladder :p), so again, any difference is likely to be small. |
