Biblical origin of the races originating from the sons of Noah where white people are descended from Japheth
This is an interesting point. Would you say all Noah's sons were intelligent? I think one became a fool but does that mean his progeny are also foolish and therefore not intelligent? Are intelligence and foolishness different metrics?
I also think about all the people with Nimrod, they were both super intelligent and extremely foolish. Babel had all races right?
If I had to pick the smartest people I've heard about I'd say Job was very intelligent and wealthy. Abraham was smart but also not wise at times. Noah was very intelligent and obedient. David was very smart and a great king and soldier and even he fell into stupidity. Solomon was supposedly great in wisdom and dumb in smart action..
I tend to think Joseph was the smartest of all his brothers, but he never made himself superior to them, which speaks to his wisdom, I think.
This is, obviously, not an exhaustive history of intelligence, just some examples close to my mind.
