Agustin Boyd · Answer 1

Intelligence is provided entirely by genetic factors.

Explanation:

Intelligence represents a complex trait that factors of genetics and environment influence. This is why it is a difficult phenomenon to study, and the majority of definitions indicate that intelligence consists of the skills to learn from events in life and the adaptation to unstable environments. This consists of reasoning, planning, solving problems, and understanding complex ideas. So, in this case, Henry is just focusing on the genetic factor of intelligence.
