Mexican districts with more European admixture score higher on PISA and Raven's Matrices. Colombian districts with highest European admixture have top SABER scores, with 2.46 SD gap matching 2.67 genetic IQ gap. Brazilian regions with more European ancestry have higher PISA scores, driven by whiteness. Latin American countries show 0.41 correlation between European admixture and national IQ despite economic noise. US light-skinned blacks score higher on GSS and NLSY vocabulary tests than dark-skinned blacks. National IQ correlates -0.90 with skin darkness, stronger than 0.74 GDP correlation. More African ancestry lowers SES in 13/14 studies, more European raises it in 11/13. More Native American ancestry lowers success in 13/15 Hispanic studies. Hereditarian genetic IQ predictions using European=100, Amerindian=90, African=84 closely match observed scores. Bogota's high scores fit its high European admixture. Skin color proxies admixture accurately in group averages. Historical Shuey studies consistently show lighter blacks outperform darker ones on IQ tests. Admixture explains cognitive differences better than environment within countries. Totality of data supports genetics over purely environmental race-IQ explanations.
