Original Note:
The claim that Somalians have a mean IQ of 68 originates from a 2006 study that has been criticized for poor methodology and discredited by another study in 2010. Current scientific consensus is that there is no genetic component to IQ differences between racial groups. https://www.logicallyfacts.com/en/fact-check/claim-that-average-somali-iq-is-lower-than-70-arises-from-flawed-study https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fa0029772
