The programming talent myth

The programming talent myth

There are talents that are hereditary. 23 out of the best 25 times for 10000m men's running are by athletes born in East Africa. Out of the 74+ male athletes who run 100m under 10 seconds, only four of them are not descended from West Africa. Traits like height, color of eye, hair, etc. are hereditary. It's an obvious (but not necessary correct) assumption that other traits like intelligence are hereditary too.

Of course, there are talents that only seem to be hereditary, but passed from generation to generation by being able to access certain resources (enough food, education, etc.).
