hahahahaha he say na white man award. hahahahahahahaha lwkm oo Rabindranath Tagore was the first Asian Nobel prize winner in 1913. Five Asians received the Nobel Prize in 2014 alone, and many more in-between. Even in this technological day, you still make this kind of incorrect statement. Can't use the internet, but he talks about intelligence. The thing is that, you can't use affrimative action to win a Nobel prize, because your works and discoveries are going to pass through the highest standard of scrutiny.

There are more genes of intelligence on the X chromosome than on the Y and this is significant for male children. Intelligence just like any other trait is inherited from the parents. The trait here could actually be the ability to acquire intelligence because environmental factors contribute immensely to intelligence, depends on how you may want to define intelligence.

For instance, if an unintelligent male (XY) crosses a genius female (XX), with each 'donating' one chromosome to their offspring and they have a boy (XY) and a girl (XX). For the boy child (XY), it is certain that the X chromosome is from the mother so he will have more genes of intelligence from the mother. Note, that there are also genes of intelligence on the Y chromosome only significantly lesser than that of the X.

For the girl child (XX), both X chromosomes come from each parent, so she will have theoretically 50:50 share of genes of intelligence from each parent. If she turns out intelligent, it is the mother's X working, if she turns out unintelligent it's the father's full X working, if she's average a hybrid...but the boy would be smarter than his sister in theory.

To test this, look at a family in which the girl child is way smarter than the boy child -with the assumption that they had identical exposure, experiences and desire to learn- You will find that the father is likely to be the more intelligent parent, although even hypothetically, you cannot be close to 70% certainty. But if the boy is way more intelligent than his sister, it is certain that the boy is intelligent because of his mother. The latter is more likely to be observed in real life.

To cut the long story short, If you are an intelligent man don't marry an unintelligent woman for the sake of your unborn male children because they will reason like their mother . The girls will be fine. Also, for a woman that is intelligent, you can sleep rest assured that your children will get equal share of your genes of intelligence even if you decide to marry an ode . If all the children turn out to be unintelligent, don't worry, it's the father's doing . Unintelligent women in contrast, have it real bad compared with unintelligent men for the sake of their children's intelligence.

**Disclaimer: There is a lot of scientific truth here and also a number of assumptions, but it's not this straightforward. The scenarios and suggestions are unverified and solely based on my analysis. Follow or teach at your own risk.

Africa with a population of how many despite being through slavery and exploitation by those who think are more intelligent than you have produced 16. Even though the western education thing is relatively new to them.

Nope.... It's 80% from the mother 20% from the father.

Except if the father has very strong/dominant genes.

Is Intelligence Inherited In A Family?

"An apple doesn't fall far from the tree" - English proverb.

I spent some years of my life teaching pupils/students at different times from Basic 1 to SS 3. Over these years, I was also able to meet with most of the parents of my pupils/students. One particular thing I observed was that pupils/students whose academic performances were very poor and who lacked the capacity to understand the various subjects taught, plus inability in exhibiting creativity, either had parents who were not 'averagely' intelligent or if they had one parent who happened to be intelligent, they didn't take after that parent; they took after the other in mentality and character.

I also observed that some kids might be intelligent, smart and academically sound while some or all of their siblings would be unintelligent and indifferent to creativity. After meeting both parents of such families, I observed that the intelligent child often took after either the mum or dad who is intelligent in attitude, mentality and character; in fact, sometimes, I have noticed physical appearances and features as part of the resemblance in nature. Have you ever wondered why some people do not study as hard as you do to understand the contents and materials of a course, and even teach you? Such people do not need to read much to understand! It is in the gene. Don't forget the brain is the seat of intelligence biologically; if children can take resemblance of one parent in terms of eyes, nose, mouth, way of walking, way of talking, etc, what stops them from taking semblance of the brain too?

When an intelligent person didn't inherit his/her intelligence from either parents, check deeper, there could be someone in either the mother's side or father's side he/she must have gotten it from. It is this inheritance that gives children the interest to learn, understand, cultivate the interest to pursue knowledge and exhibit creativity. It spurs the attitude of curiosity to learn in a child. Such inheritance of intelligence does not necessarily make a child to be intelligent but it gives the child that innate (natural) consciousness and desire to learn and create things in whatever field he/she finds himself/herself in future; whether in science, arts, entertainment, technology, education, finance or agriculture.

There is a high possibility that two naturally intelligent people will give birth to intelligent children if they marry. There is also a high possibility that the reverse will be the case if the two people involve are not 'averagely' intelligent. An apple never falls far from the tree.

This is the reason why I always opine that love is not enough in a marital affair; especially, when you as a young person, possesses some basic standards as regards an ideal and balanced family.

baby124:
Criminal tendency like any Character trait exists genetically and is passed on. Trust me I have been able to observe behaviors of grandkids in my family and they each behave quite similarly to how their older relatives were at childhood. If those traits can be passed on, I don't think criminal tendency is impossible. For example I have a niece that behaves exactly like me. We do not live in the same house or the same country.lmao.

CzarChris:
.

1.The genes contain every single information about an individual and I also noticed that most times last borns though spoilt, display a higher level of intelligence than their elder siblings, probably because the genes/chromosomes of the parents at a later age have gained more intelligence and wisdom which was also stored in their genes than when they had their first kids.

2?

An institution created by white people to judge the size of whose ego is bigger than the other will not produce a majority of winners from other races. The whole Asia with a population of over 3billion people has produced 49 Laureates since the inception of the prize.

Africa with a population of how many despite being through slavery and exploitation by those who think are more intelligent than you have produced 16. Even though the western education thing is relatively new to them.

Nobel laureate prize is based on perception by judges. Yes, there are scientific findings and what not, but most are theories. It does not represent scientific ability of any race or group.

Always complaining. Always looking for pity. Meanwhile, you were only occupied once. There are some countries that were even occupied more than 3 times and subjected to all form of inhumanity. Even the Chinese were occupied in the past. They gained independence 70 years ago, while we gained independence 63 years ago.

baby124:
What pity? No one is asking for pity. If you white people were geniuses as you want us to believe, you will not need to sail to other countries to steal, kill and destroy. You will invent solutions for yourselves. Please miss us with the bullshit about intelligence and prizes. There is no correlation whatsoever. With all the intelligence, how has it improved humanity except create new ways to STEAL, KILL and DESTROY! Which must be genetic traits I guess.

benji93:
Guy although, i understand the point that we are responsible for our own problems now, what the white folks did is unforgivable, and it will forever linger, no matter how much you wanna downplay it. İ hope we can move past that hurdle as a country. İts kind of hard to compare people of different races you know. While some people can come back from many years of being treated as slaves, others cannever move past it. Maybe we are just made differently. İ hope we learn from the triumph of those countries.

No I don't think so, if you don't read, you won't pass. Knowledge isn't inherited but acquired

sinaj:
Yes intelligence is hereditary.

To those with low IQ, try nd get married to people with Average or high IQ to boost ur kid's ministry

Many other factors such as the environment, SES, etc. also contribute to intelligence too nd not just hereditary.

Cutehector:
I don't think intelligence is inherited, I think its a natural gift given to some people.

Maybe you should also consider certain social factors, the way a first and lastborn child are nurtured and parented are often completely different. You used the word "spoilt", the extra attention lavished on such children and increased positive interaction with the caregiver may be just enough to push them into higher levels of attainment.

The parents may also trial a different way of raising that child from learning from the ones that didn't work on the previous siblings. Equally a younger child may observe and learn from the errors of his elder siblings

Also the parents may be more financially buoyant later in life which will confer on the baby all the benefits that extra wealth does

I think the genetic phenomenon you are referring to is called "epigenetics" but I don't know much on the subject
