There’s an additional problem—there’s a social circle where the consensus is that believing in race and gender differences in ability is proof of rationality, so if you’re trying to do a counter-tribe rationality check, you’d need to know which tribe has a stronger influence on a person.
If Africa has the most genetic variation for humans, does that imply it’s likely that the smartest human subgroup is likely to be African?
All else being equal, yes. However, many regions of Africa have ongoing problems with public health, availability of education, etc. that would wash out any advantages in genetic predisposition for intelligence.
