and when IQ can rise so fast in only 80 years, how can it possibly be evolutional?

It isn't, which is one of the points I have made.

If IQ is a good measure of intelligence, then that would mean that genes alone are not enough to explain differences in intelligence, but that is a hardly a surprise.

Genes play little part, if at all, anything significant. Only when you look into genetic disorders then you actually see problems and genes playing any part, but any "differences between races" is hardly there at all.

There has not been done any serious amount of research on this topic, there is no room for making such claims.

but claims in the contrary can be made?

in the same fashion how can the difference between iq levels of black americans in usa (around 85 i thought) and africans in west africa be explained (around 60)? can a difference of 25 points be developed in only a few 100 years? and if there is any doubt as to wether the mixing with caucasians might have caused this then i 'd like to see the numbers of the afro-americans which have not or barely been mixed and compare those to that of west-africans. and if such numbers have are not available, i think such study ought to be done before anything conclusive might be said.

No, not necessarily; and that's why you'll see that I never made such claims either; I have merely opened for the possibility. I don't think assessing intelligence differences due to genetics is a simple task, otherwise we know how the genes work. The impact from the enviroment also makes the tasks harder, as you point out.
