In ‘Enormous Success,’ Scientists Tie 52 Genes to Human Intelligence
The genes account for just a tiny fraction of the variation in test scores, experts say. Many are yet to be found, and environmental factors are also greatly important.The piece reads as bad science.
This is mostly speculation based on early work.
We are far from analytic models of the brain and the mind.
Most of what passes for intelligence exists in the mind.
The mind is the "software" model of existence.

Behind the Cover: 5.21.17
For this issue, the doctor is in.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/magazine/what-animals-taught-me-about-being-human.html
"For some weeks, I’ve been worried about the health of family and friends. Today I’ve stared at a computer screen for hours. My eyes hurt. My heart does, too. Feeling the need for air, I sit on the step of my open back door and see a rook, a sociable species of European crow, flying low toward my house through gray evening air. Straightaway I use the trick I learned as a child, and all my difficult emotions lessen as I imagine how the press of cooling air might feel against its wings. But my deepest relief doesn’t come from imagining I can feel what the rook feels, know what the rook knows — instead, it’s slow delight in recognizing that I cannot. These days I take emotional solace from understanding that animals are not like me, that their lives are not about us at all. The house it’s flying over has meaning for both of us. To me, it is home. To a rook? A way point on a journey, a collection of tiles and slopes, useful as a perch or a thing to drop walnuts on in autumn to make them shatter and let it winkle out the flesh inside."
