  All right, today, the pleasure of speaking with Razeeb Khan.

• 00:07

  He's one of the top science bloggers in the world.

• 00:10

  He writes about genetics, history and evolution on his blog, unsupervised learnings.

• 00:14

  And he has a podcast of the same name.

• 00:17

  And you can find it at Razeeb.substack.com.

• 00:21

  So Razeeb, thanks for coming on the podcast.

• 00:23

• 00:32

  I've always been interested in topics like history Demographics etc and I've also been interested in science of a scientific background scientific training and over the last 20 years genetics has become just a really big deal in terms of you know just as a tool to do various things whether it's in the biomedical space or historical inference and you know so obviously I'm interested in demographics historical inference and you know genetics is a tool I can use as a geneticist and so I do so you know like like

• 01:12

  as we're recording right now I decided to do a bunch of pairwise genetic distances between populations and stuff just

• 01:20

  because I could for a post,

• 01:22

  you know, so, you know, I do a lot of things by myself, or I replicate what's been done.

• 01:30

  Yeah, so I mean, that's a lot of what I do.

• 01:32

  Yeah.

• 01:33

  Okay, interesting.

• 01:35

  Alright, so I just like to jump into it.

• 01:37

  So My first question is, assuming there's no gene editing in the near future,

• 01:41

  what is the long term equilibrium for intelligence look like?
