Intelligence is not inherited since it is an acquired trait. The claim you are giving is the same as lamarck. Lamarck claimed that giraffes got longer necks because their parents stretched out their necks to reach leaves up above(similar to how you’re saying intelligence is inherited) , however we know this is false. The reason that giraffes showed longer necks in later generations is due to natural selection.
