The environment does have a great impact on an individuals intelectual ability, ones genetics can help them to some extend however the environment that the individual grows up in will determine whether their intelectual ability will develop either positively/negatively. Considering an individual who is born into an invoronment with access to all the resources (school, good family, extracurricular programs, proper nutritional diet etc) will positively allow the individual to progress in their intelectual ability.
When we look at individuals who are deprived from such an environment due to reasons such as conflicts (war), or they are born into a household/environment where financial status of people is below poverty level, and many other reasons, we tend to see individuals such as children, teens, etc who are affectby these types of environments. War for instance can deprive individuals from all kinds of resources that is needed for improving ones intellectual abilities. Children for instance are left without education for years, and we know that it is crucial for them to continue on their studies from year to year to progress and improve there intelectual abilities. However when they are deprived of their studies, if they have stoped their studies from grade 1 and years have passed and they were unable to receive education due to war they will not be able to for instance solve math problems done in middle school.
Therefor environment does greatly have an influence on ones intelectual abilities.
