Einstein had a higher IQ, compared a Streetwise Ghetto thief
In our Day and Age, We find that we value Einstein more
But I bet 1 thing.

Einstein would'nt know SHIT about stealing a Chicken and not getting caught.
in a raw nomadic world of hunter gatherers Einstein would have been seen as a Dumb Shit,

And the Ghetto chicken thief as intelligent & resourceful
The IQ is just a measure of only what a culture values, not really "intelligence" in its full sense, if there IS anything such as "intelligence" in its full sense.

Conclusion: To say person A has a high IQ, and person B a low IQ, really says nothing about each ones "intelligence" as B most likey can do things A finds impossible to do.
IQ is a scale like any other graduated concept. You know, a hierarchy?
