The Victorian polymath Francis Galton estimated in his classic Hereditary Genius that the average IQ of the ancient Greeks was 125. Galton explains how he arrived at that estimate in the following manner:

The ablest race of whom history bears record is unquestionably the ancient Greek, partly because their master-pieces in the principal departments of intellectual activity are still unsurpassed, and in many respects unequalled, and partly because the population that gave birth to the creators of those master-pieces was very small. Of the various Greek sub-races, that of Attica was the ablest, and she was no doubt largely indebted to the following cause, for her superiority. Athens opened her arms to immigrants, but not indiscriminately, for her social life was such that none but very able men could take any pleasure in it; on the other hand, she offered attractions such as men of the highest ability and culture could find in no other city. Thus, by a system of partly unconscious selection, she built up a magnificent breed of human animals, which, in the space of one century—viz. between 530 and 430 B.C.—produced the following illustrious persons, fourteen in number:—

Statesmen and Commanders.—Themistocles (mother an alien), Miltiades, Aristeides, Cimon (son of Miltiades), Pericles (son of Xanthippus, the victor at Mycalc).

Literary and Scientific Men.—Thucydides, Socrates, Xenophon, Plato.

Poets.— Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes.

Sculptor.—Phidias.

We are able to make a closely-approximate estimate of the population that produced these men, because the number of the inhabitants of Attica has been a matter of frequent inquiry, and critics appear at length to be quite agreed in the general results. It seems that the little district of Attica contained, during its most flourishing period (Smith’s Class. Geog. Dict.), less than 90,000 native free-born persons, 40,000 resident aliens, and a labouring and artisan population of 400,000 slaves. The first item is the only one that concerns us here, namely, the 90,000 free-born persons. Again, the common estimate that population renews itself three times in a century is very close to the truth, and may be accepted in the present case. Consequently, we have to deal with a total population of 270,000 free-born persons, or 135,000 males, born in the century I have named. Of these, about one-half, or 67.500, would survive the age of 26, and one-third, or 45,000, would survive that of 50. As 14 Athenians became illustrious, the selection is only as I to 4,822 in respect to the former limitation, and as I to 3, 214 in respect to the latter. Referring to the table in page 34, it will be seen that this degree of selection corresponds very fairly to the classes F (1 in 4, 300) and above, of the Athenian race. Again, as G is one-sixteenth or one-seventeenth as numerous as F, it would be reasonable to expect to find one of class G among the fourteen; we might, however, by accident, meet with two, three, or even four of that class— say Pericles, Socrates, Plato, and Phidias.

Now let us attempt to compare the Athenian standard of ability with that of our own race and time. We have no men to put by the side of Socrates and Phidias, because the millions of all Europe, breeding as they have done for the subsequent 2,000 years, have never produced their equals. They are, therefore, two or three grades above our G—they might rank as I or J. But, supposing we do not count them at all, saying that some freak of nature acting at that time, may have produced them, what must we say about the rest? Pericles and Plato would rank, I suppose, the one among the greatest of philosophical statesmen, and the other as at least the equal of Lord Bacon. They would, therefore, stand somewhere among our unclassed X, one or two grades above G—let us call them between H and I. All the remainder—the F of the Athenian race— would rank above our G, and equal to or close upon our H. It follows from all this, that the average ability of the Athenian race is, on the lowest possible estimate, very nearly two grades higher than our own—that is, about as much as our race is above that of the African negro. This estimate, which may seem prodigious to some, is confirmed by the quick intelligence and high culture of the Athenian commonalty, before whom literary works were recited, and works of art exhibited, of a far more severe character than could possibly be appreciated by the average of our race, the calibre of whose intellect is easily gauged by a glance at the contents of a railway book-stall.

it's an extrapolation you geek. Note that I never said Galton claimed to know the IQ of the ancient greeks

Galton states intelligence gap between whites and greeks to be the same as that between whites and negroes. We now have a handy-dandy integer scale for intelligence. If we apply this fancy new scale to his statements we get AN IQ GAP OF ROUGHLY 25 WOW IMAGINE THAT

they couldn't quantify intelligence back then. we still can't quantify the intelligence of dead people, come to think of it. but yes, it is the gap that he is referencing. If you want to use the psychobabble constant of G we can do it that way. WG-NG=G2. WG+G2=...(drumroll)GG! which would be roughly 125 in IQ, hth.

its close enough man. they didn't have standard deviation in Galton's time, they had grades. we don't know exactly what a grade is, because it would be a pain in the ass to do research into galton's methodology for the purpose of this thread. we do know the difference between the iq of whites and blacks though. use that info to arrive at about 125.

"It follows from all this, that the average ability of the Athenian race is, on the lowest possible estimate, very nearly two grades higher than our own—that is, about as much as our race is above that of the African negro."

If two "grades" is about 1 standard deviation, then the Greeks at issue were only at about 115 under the "lowest possible estimate."

The OP does not expressly define "grade" as anything in particular. A "grade" could have been some arbitrary measure he cooked up in his head. The true measure he uses is the gap between whites and blacks, which is 1 standard deviation on pretty much every standardized test.

Given that I clearly understand that there's missing information and that assumptions are required, you'd have to be a pretty dull person to seriously ask whether changing the obvious assumptions would matter.

Speaking of assumptions, I assume you're not a fucking retard and figure you're just engaged some good, old fashioned, all caps flaming.

As a Greek who has spent years living in the country I can tell you with full confidence and no bias that this fact is evidently observable in Greeks from some particular regions which have remained fundamentally undisturbed and undiluted since Classical Greece.

I think he is forgetting that most of the low hanging fruit was available for Greek geniuses to grab onto. As time progresses and humans push the boundaries of their knowledge, people must necessarily become focused experts rather than polymaths which lowers the volume of their contribution as compared to their predecessors but does not make them any dumber.

*low-hanging fruit missed by all people before them and by everyone for centuries after them including, inter alia, the Romans who conquered and succeeded them and tried to steal as much fruit as they could, every asian civilization for millennia, all dem kangz, all civilizations in the americas, etc.

but sure, it's Galton who's missing something here
