A trending photo as going round the internet of a research which shows that children inherit their intelligence from their mother not father. Gistvic Reports.

The research also says women are more likely to transmit intelligence genes to their children because they carried on the X chromosome. Gistvic Reports.

Do you know the meaning of 'anecdotal evidence'?

That's the right term to describe it. What we have here is a hypothesis.
If it was all about posting articles, i could easily post one that discredits this.

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... undecided

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.

It boils down 2 nurture & training not nature & inheritance. An intelligent woman would definitely impact her child with her intelligence/level of thinking and a mentally average woman will do same 4 her child.
thank you jor. This obvious fact is like String theory for many persons.

You are only arguing in favour of the paper, because they say it's from the mom.. And rather than argue against.. You just helped to show that they are right.

This is even more true cos children spend more time with their mothers than their fathers
Nuture and training does not account for all form of intelligence.

We have seen numerous examples of children from deprived, unstable background with brains as hot as fire.

Intelligence is as genetic as it is from nuture. infact, even more so.

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

there is something called dominant and recessive genes. Pray that dullness isn't a dominant gene in your family cheesy. The case above could have been recessive one

Feminism will destroy you all!

Every day we hear all kinds of news to further reduce the importance of the male gender!

Very soon you will see a scientific research which postulates that men are utterly useless!

These researches are being promoted by feminists and their supporters!

Be smart guys stop promoting this!

Going to school and intelligence are two different things.
