Is intelligence determined by genetics?
Like most aspects of human behavior and cognition, intelligence is a complex trait that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.

Most definitions of intelligence include the ability to learn from experiences and adapt to changing environments. Elements of intelligence include the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, and understand complex ideas.
Research shows that more than 59% of intelligence is genetic.
Environmental factors such as:
How parents raised you
Culture
Circle of friends
Education
Determines the remaining 40%

If you were raised in a poor home with terrible diet and zero appreciation for education, you are likely to be less intelligent than some one who had opposite.
