6793127] 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. [/quote] Of course the children who emerge from d scenarios u have painted whose "brains are as hot as fire". U might b surprised that such kids u mentioned might not have had parents who were intelligent. I don't no how intelligent Albert Einsteins mother was, but I heard Einstein wasn't too good in school. His mum didn't teach him science & maths but she made him believe in himself especially when his teacher told him he wouldn't amount to much. According to Wikipedia "Intelligence has been defined in many ways, including: the capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving." I also don't c intelligence as limited to ones ability as tested in western education. Its much more than that. D ability to make certain decisions which define whether a person succeeds or fails in an endeavour. In most cases, u can't inherit those. U learn them that's y they are called life skills. I borrowed this from one of d contributors on d thread. https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilywillingham/2016/09/16/no-research-has-not-established-that-you-inherited-your-intelligence-from-your-mother/#31bcc2e86502 |

nijabazaar: But the article said intelligence is transferred from MOTHERS to their children. You cited cases of intelligent MEN who didn't produce intelligent children. You therefore haven't made any effort to refute the claims of the article. You should only tell us about prominent intelligent WOMEN who had dull children. That way, you would have successfully argued against the claims of the research. 1 Like |

nijabazaar: I think you just buttressed the point. All the people you mentioned are male. The article says intelligence comes from the mother...take time to read properly. |

crackhaus: Yeah. Personal experiences, stories, etc. They are not based on facts but what I see around me. My dad married a super intelligent woman and gave birth to geniuses that are always top of our respective classes it's just Nigeria that is stopping us from reaching our full potential for change. Some other people I see around that their mums are just average regardless of their dad's potential, usually struggle. My FIL always says, if your kids are dull, it's because you married a dull wife. That his family are noted for intelligence so no one should come and pollute their pool. My anecdotes sha. It's still left for people to harness it and polish it up. |

nijabazaar:Einstein divorced his brilliant wife and married his cousin who snatched him and she was famous for living off men. Michael Jackson used a surrogate and a sperm donor. Biologically those kids are not his. Bill Gates family is not public so you don’t know the capability of his children. Also, that a woman is Olosho doesn’t mean she’s not intelligent. The successful Oloshos are not dumb by any means. It’s not easy to make people part with a lot of money. I don’t mean celebrities who are propelled by their fame to do Olosho. But the unknown gold diggers who can dig gold from anywhere. 2 Likes 1 Share |

blank:I like your honesty, your theories are more personal than scientific. There are equally super-intelligent men married to women with average intelligence who ended up having super-intelligent kids. I guess you may have read about the Lawyer dad whose children are all lawyers, or the Pilot dad whose children are towing the same profession. This article and others like it on the internet are also 'anecdotal' which is the point i was actually trying to make with my question. None of the writers is a geneticist, biologist, or scientist, and even if we are to assume they are, where did they conduct the research and which journal was it published. It sounds really good to hear that we inherit intelligence from our mothers because naturally most people are more psychologically & emotionally attached to their mothers than fathers (this is the nurture theory). This is why its so easy to just believe the hypothesis without bothering to verify the facts, which is exactly what the writers bank on to get people to accept it. Basic reverse psychology at play. 1 Like |

crackhaus:It’s a scientific study that has been out for a while. These people just copy and pasted it. Google is your friend. By the way, the career path a child chooses has no bearing on the mothers intelligence. As long as they are successful in their chosen careers. |
Re: "Children Inherit Their Intelligence From Their Mother Not Father" - Research by crackhaus: 2:16pm On Mar 19, 2019 |
Gerrard59:You repeated everything that has been said by various writers. Personally, I'm not disagreeing with the study (if ever there was one). I come from a science background, so i have to see the study itself - the name of the scientists who did it, where it was done, when it was done, and most importantly, the citation for the journal that published it. You can help with a link to this, since you say you've known about it for a long time. |

Re: "Children Inherit Their Intelligence From Their Mother Not Father" - Research by crackhaus: 2:43pm On Mar 19, 2019 |
baby124:Lol, but I should be the one telling you that though. There's no link to any study (scientific or medical) with names and dates, along with the institution where said study was carried out and journals published to that effect, anywhere on the internet. This is the US National Library of medicine: https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/traits/intelligence There's nothing here about mother to child. This is what a published medical/scientific journal looks like: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4270739/ Still, nothing in this talking about the mother to child theory. The summary from most of these verified studies is that there is no specific gene responsible for intelligence. By the way, a gene is what is passed on from parents to children and that determines what is inherited, not a chromosome..so all that talk about the x chromosome carrying intelligence and women having two, is just nonsense. Genetics is so much more complex than that. 1 Like |
Re: "Children Inherit Their Intelligence From Their Mother Not Father" - Research by crackhaus: 2:53pm On Mar 19, 2019 |
Martinez39:There was no research to begin with. For it to be a research, they have to first be able to isolate the gene which is responsible for intelligence (wish them good luck in that), then they have to show how it is transmitted ONLY from mother to child and what miraculously happens to the intelligent/stupid gene (he must have one or the other) present in the father. |

crackhaus:True. Probably a feminist agenda just like the porn industry saying porn and masturbation prevent prostate cancer and masturbating 21 times a week is healthy. |

I believe this but its scary cos the smart, intelligent wisdom in my family runs same way in my maternal home, but my dad's side is not that bright and now we the guys have inherited the smartness and super intelligence from our mum, but my fear is, I really pray and desire my children to inherit my intelligent, creative and entrepreneurial success gene cos I don't know how smart the lady I might end up marrying will be. God please help me, my children must inherit my intelligence gene, they can inherit their mom's physical beauty gene but I just need them to carry my intelligence gene that runs in my maternal family |

Ziggylady minus tribalism would make a perfect match for me as regards intelligent children. |
Re: "Children Inherit Their Intelligence From Their Mother Not Father" - Research by crackhaus: 3:03pm On Mar 19, 2019 |
Ozkar:Exactly what I referenced in my response above. Science hasn't even figured out which specific genes carry intelligence because there are multiples of combinations with traces of intelligence, and all present in both father and mother. I'm still willing to learn something new today though, after someone points me to the study that proves this hypothesis. |
Re: "Children Inherit Their Intelligence From Their Mother Not Father" - Research by crackhaus: 3:15pm On Mar 19, 2019 |
franchasng:In other words you're doomed if you marry a woman without or with little 'intelligence', and your unborn children are just dullards waiting to happen because your genes carrying intelligence will completely disappear and does not matter in the grand scheme of things. Now do you understand why this unverified research has to be the most silly piece of misinformation to be peddled around. The existence of aliens is even more believable. 1 Like |
