Orks are always breaking new things, plus they have a very low IQ. Progression is not really in their nature much. Plus Humans are way smarter than orks as well, the only reason they haven't progressed is due to superstitions. Technological sophistication does not prove IQ, because technology gets better over time, no matter how dumb you are (within reason). There are people who think that the Ancient Egyptians actually had higher IQs than people today, and yet they didn't have flying cars and teleportation did they?

The Eldar have been around for a very long time now, so their tech is hardly a surprise now is it? Humans however, can already go head to head with them and win a fair bit of the time, even though they've been around for less than half the time. On top of that the Eldar got a head start from the Old Ones. I think that proves that human IQ is either equal to or more likely higher than the Eldar.
