Does his life story show that intelligence can be mostly determined by environment?

no, it's still mostly heritable but his life means that for a genius to be born, it doesn't require two genius parents.

To a large extent it is, there are virtually zero examples of high intellectual achievers lacking a privileged background or one that enforced accelerated learning.

his intelligence is innate, it was quite high, but the 200+ IQ figure seems based on his achievements and proclivities; we will never know what he would be like unaided by his parents as his dad used him as a guinea pig from the moment he was born.
