[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This assumes humans have a good understanding of what drives intelligence at the genetic level. Newsflash: we don't. Intelligence is a huge amalgam of genetics, environment, and nurturing. They have no idea what network of genes will need to be manipulated to improve intelligence. [/quote] You don’t need to have a good understand of the underlying causal variants to select for traits. Correlations by tagging nearby variants are sufficient to select for traits. We have been doing polygenic selection for cows, chickens, and horses for 15 years now and there is no reason why it won’t work on humans as well. People that think humans are unique and not subject to the laws of nature are filling themselves because this technology makes them uncomfortable. [/quote]
