There are no smart genes so the question of who you got intelligence from is pure and utter rubbish. Genes work mostly in as off/on switch. Proteins are activated which then send signals to the gene which is now turned on. So my brother it depends. It depends on environmental factors, experiences, etc. The playing field ain't level for everyone.
You so wrong bruh. Comment with facts not what you feel like.

Yes, It can be inherited,though I've seen families whose records and performance points to the facts that they have high IQ with dunce and low IQ children.IQ of individuals should be a function of parent's IQ,environment, Nutrition upbringing,so outside these factors and they still have low IQ children,then may be na spiritua matter o.

The codon for intelligent are more from maternal since larger part of the cerebrum(70) are transferred.so the gene coding for reasoning which are mainly dominated in the cerebrum hemispere are more in maternal than paternal.Though environmental factors also plays a significant roles.

It is inherited from both parents. The male because the sperm comes from him. The male is 70%. The female, 30% because women nurture these kids. So an intelligent mother will bring out a child's potential. But the intelligence comes from the man. Why do you think by nature women chase after successful men It's both for security and to ensure survival of offspring through the right genetic make up. Inherited intelligence increases the chances of survival in our prehistoric times.

I watched something about intelligent sperm donors a few days ago. These sperm donors donated their sperm to women in an experiment. They were the top 1% as per intelligence. The kids are all very intelligent.

IQ MAY not be inheritable.

factors that improve the chances of higher IQs are

1. full course breast milk
2. quality of food, vitamins consumes during the sperm and egg production
3. less noisy environment when growing up
4. cramming at a very tender age (this played a huge role in my IQ, i have an official 132)
we were forced to cram psalms 23, 24, 103, 91, 150 etc btw age 3-6, and we memorized them successfully
5. watching creative cartoon while growing up, science, playing puzzled games and word games
6. get a smart partner to help build a family, no GEJs, Larabans, okupes, mr beans, and the likes
7. expose then to technologies at a tender age, and take time to correct them of any false beliefs and tell them about the origins of stuffs
8. send them to a good school.
9. teach them to face their fears


and there you go.

I agree. I have a friend who is academically dull (like seriously), but she married a very intelligent man. Today they have three kids. The first, a boy, is ALWAYS among the bottom 3 in his class, while the remaining two, girls, are very intelligent. The last born who is just two years old can manipulate a phone expertly and play video games.

This is a factor of the genes passed and the environment you grow up in which includes good health and nutrition.

I'm not a student of any medical related field but from observation & a bit general knowledge in genetics, I can say there is no conclusive proof that intelligence in inherited.

If that we're the case, the likes of Einstein, Feynman, Hawking would all have genius kids as well. I've seen kids of very intelligent people who are dumb as rock, I've even got a professor uncle who's son is retar*ded

However it's possible that a child could inherit some intelligence genes from his progenitors (this includes his parents, grand parents, great grand parents & so on) but ultimately, the child's environment, upbringing & diet goes a long way in determining how intelligent that child will be.

Though some kids are naturally gifted, Intelligence of course doesn't always equate academic brilliance & vice versa. What matters most of the time, is how a child develops his/her brain or makes use of the intelligence trait they may have inherited.

op... I think you mean intelligence inherited from...........

if u say intelligence quotient it just makes the statement wrong .....




well.....back 2 the matter! it depends on the gene that is dominant and cn. b 4rm the male or female but which gene is dominant and which is recessive depends on different factors .....

you actually believe all this , in as much as the environment is a factor , the genes have a lot to play. I have seen children who had all this you mentioned but are still dull. Have you asked yourself why some kids from poor background are intelligent.

understand there are recessive and dominant genes, that's why some short parents can have tall kids , that's recessive . It may be same with intelligence too. You are a product of the genes passed from both parents one can't say if its maternal or paternal.

tell dat to people who grew up in poor background and bad learning environment yet are very brainy


reason to this if cancer is hereditary and has to do with the growth of cells..
then it is very possible for increased brain cell mitosis to be inherited either from father or mother

Intelligence is inherited, especially in terms of doing well in a particular subject. The inheritance can come either from the mother or the father. For those who say that intelligence is not inherited, try to find a child of educated parents that are not good in Maths, who happens to be exceptional in Maths due to hard work.

Ask people who teach computer programming their experience with students who try everything to learn computer programming, but are not able to.
