I look forward to your explanation of how purely statistical differences in single genes is somehow logically relevant to human “intelligence”, which is arguably the most complex phenomenon on the planet.

I can see how replacing a complicated subject with a simple one can be “feel-good” though: it gives the false impression that the world is simple and easy to understand; it encourages one to ignore complexity and replace the truth with simple, satisfying truisms; and it can be used by intellectually insecure people to rationalize one’s need to feel superior (e.g. James Watson).

It’s easy to compare people to cows. A little harder to intelligently understand intelligence, I'm afraid.
