DD: As a great Psychometrician said to me, more or less, a child is 
born with the basic genetic stuff for IQ. They will not improve it, 
but they can lose it. Example, brain trauma. Example, faulty 
nutrition. Example, not having good stuff for early cognition.
For more clear definition of race, See "The Living Races Of Man" by 
Carleton Coon. I got from it a very rough definition; That category 
most randomly selected judges of an individual would assign that 
person to. Yes, he allowed for those that go into the, " I don't 
know," category
