More or Less: Behind the Stats - What is an IQ map and can we trust them?

You may have seen a map circulated on social media that claims to show the average IQ of different nations.

If you look closely these numbers vary dramatically, with incredibly low scores in developing countries, including many in Africa.

Unsurprisingly the map is often used as a way to bolster arguments about racial or national superiority.

However, when you look at the data behind the claims the whole thing falls apart. We dive into the methods behind the map and ask whether it?s even possible to accurately put a number on intelligence.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Cardiff Giant

In 1869, the world was shocked by a discovery that was made outside of the town of Cardiff, New York. 


Two workers discovered what was claimed to be the remains of a 10 foot tall, petrified human being. 


The claim set off a fiery debate between those who thought it was proof of the Bible and those who just thought it was a long lost statue. 


It turned out, neither group was correct. 


Learn more about the Cardiff Giant and one of the biggest hoaxes of the 19th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
