crackhaus:yeah, read this too. Pretty much touched on most of the reservations I had while reading the PsychologySpot article. The funny part is that on the comments section of that article most persons just accepted it, and then went on to start explaining how they are intelligent like their mothers. Same way people are acting on this thread. None seemed to realise that the sources were mostly pro-nurture (like breastfeeding and post birth interaction). Even the ones that had 'gene' in the title didn't even prove that intelligence is inherited at all, much less from the mother. The way people swallow opinions disguised as facts ehn... |

This is not breaking news na. It has been for a long time. Children get at least 50% of their intelligence from their mother not father. It constitutes the natural aspect of intelligence which is different from the nurture aspect (environmental factors). The intelligent 'gene' is on the X chromosome which men don't give during copulation. Women have XX and men XY. We can even say that boys inherit their intelligence from their mothers not fathers. Then again, the mitochondria is inherited from the mother. Though mitochondrial genes might not seem to be genes “for” intelligence, however, brains are huge consumers consumers of metabolic energy (the brain consumes 25% of body glucose) - which is supplied by mitochondria. Better mitochondria are likely to translate to better brain function. Additionally, if one says his mom wasn't intelligent but her children are, you have to consider the environment the mom grew in and her lineage. Her mom could have been very intelligent. Another factor is that some cases are exceptions not the norm. That you do not believe the study or such studies doesn't mean there are false. If you disagree, you could conduct yours and publish it for peer review. MODIFIED: The research paper that I have relied for years as evidence for my post has been trounced by several superior articles. My bad. 2 Likes 1 Share |

RTSC: If you say intelligence is transmutable to offsprings then why then aint we seeing it with prodigous people land their children. Take for example , Einstein and Mozart. Or Steve jobs, or Steve Wozniak or Chinua Achebe. These people raised children in near perfect child-enabling environs but their children aint as extraordinary as them....why I think intelligence is a quotient of environmental factors and not of genes. If we go the genes angle, then we are inherently buying into Francis Crick's (One of the DNA discoverers) that the reason why Africans cant progress is because they lack it in their genes to do so. He recieved severe backlash for this, all awards save the Nobel prize was stripped from him |

Kylie Jenner is a slay Queen who leveraged on her fame to create a billion dollar business at just 20. What has your mother and sister's who are not slay queens achieved? Better still, what have you achieved other than being a keyboard warrior? PS: Most of those "slay queens" are better in you in all ramifications. Olalan: |
