OFF the charts.
ie, If you flipped a coin 1000 times and got 860 Heads and 140 Tails.. it's not an accident and it CANNOT happen unless there's a reason.
This isn't mere correlation, this is a statistically significant - wildly so.
These racial differences play out in IQ and life outcomes as well.
This is even true when ALL Variables are taken Out.
Such as the Minnesota Transracial adoption studies which remove all socio-economic factors.
Asians, adopted by whites, still score higher than whites (as they do in the real world in the USA and on their own continents).. and Blacks score lower- as they do in the USA and their own continent.
If you believe in Evolution you should believe in IQ difference- ie... the 'fittest' in the Jungle needing different skills than, let's say, Jews ghettoized in Europe for 2000 years.

It is correlative. That IS the statistical significance. To say more (like causation), you need to delve deeper into the situation. The causative case is not present in, let's say, adopted Asians scoring higher because you could also say that the whites adopting them were looking for certain traits and were also willing to do the work to nurture those traits. It is not genetic, still. Also, specifically for your example, the fact is that adoptees have the bragging rights to say that they were HAND PICKED and can actually legitimately be proud of who they are because they were CHOSEN, not just "kept."
