Oh, wow, oh, oh, whoa, oh, wow.

Oh, wow.

Oh, wow.

And so. Hello, you're all listening to The Science of Everything podcast, episode 80, intelligence.

I'm your host, James Fodor.

So in this episode, or at least two episodes, possibly three, we'll see how we go.

But in this series of episodes, we'll be looking at the subject of human intelligence,

covering topics including how intelligence is measured, how it's,

well, how it's defined and measured, although as you'll see, measurement is actually in some

sense easier than defining intelligence. Debates about measuring intelligence, so the concept,

debates about IQ and the G factor, which we'll talk about some of the biological research of

intelligence, including genetics and neuroscience research, a little bit of evidence regarding

increasing intelligence, so interventions that have been developed to do to attempt to increase

intelligence. We'll also discuss some of the literature on the heritability of intelligence,

including twin studies, adoption studies and things like that.

I'll talk about the Flynn effect, which is a very interesting phenomenon that's been found relating to the increase of IQ over time.

And finally, we'll conclude by looking at some of the research on group differences in intelligence,

particularly with the focus on race differences.

So there's quite a lot of material to get through. So let's make a start. So first of all,

what do we mean by intelligence? Now, I should say that in these series of episodes,

we're going to look at only human intelligence, so we're not going to talk about animal

intelligence and we're not going to talk about artificial intelligence. Those will be different episodes,
