At Least Half of Your Intelligence is Genetic Based.​

If you struggle with sums or can’t finish a crossword, who should you curse – your teachers or your parents?

Well according to the latest evidence, you really should blame both.

Researchers have found that up to half of our intelligence (or lack of it) is inherited.

They examined the blood of more than 3,500 people from England and Scotland for half a million genetic markers – tiny changes in their DNA.

Analysis of these results and those of intelligence tests completed by the study’s participants revealed that 40 per cent of the differences in ‘crystallised-type intelligence’, the ability to acquire knowledge and skills over the years, were in the genes.

So-called fluid-type intelligence, the ability to reason and think abstractly under pressure, was governed by genetics to an even greater extent. Some 51 per cent of a person’s ability to ‘think outside the box’ is down to DNA, the journal Molecular Psychiatry reports.

The research, made possible by a new type of genetic analysis pioneered by Peter Visscher of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia, points to numerous genes being involved.

Abstract

General intelligence is an important human quantitative trait that accounts for much of the variation in diverse cognitive abilities. Individual differences in intelligence are strongly associated with many important life outcomes, including educational and occupational attainments, income, health and lifespan. Data from twin and family studies are consistent with a high heritability of intelligence, but this inference has been controversial. We conducted a genome-wide analysis of 3511 unrelated adults with data on 549 692 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and detailed phenotypes on cognitive traits. We estimate that 40% of the variation in crystallized-type intelligence and 51% of the variation in fluid-type intelligence between individuals is accounted for by linkage disequilibrium between genotyped common SNP markers and unknown causal variants. These estimates provide lower bounds for the narrow-sense heritability of the traits. We partitioned genetic variation on individual chromosomes and found that, on average, longer chromosomes explain more variation. Finally, using just SNP data we predicted ~1% of the variance of crystallized and fluid cognitive phenotypes in an independent sample (P=0.009 and 0.028, respectively). Our results unequivocally confirm that a substantial proportion of individual differences in human intelligence is due to genetic variation, and are consistent with many genes of small effects underlying the additive genetic influences on intelligence.​

Ok people, let's talk about something interesting. Have you heard about all the recent sightings of UFOs? What do you think of all these videos that are being released? Do you think they are all fake or is there a chance that we're actually hosting some other creatures on our planet?​

May be! Only God knows that they are realy existis or not!


Sorry but I think it's betterto talk about a public subject that everyone has enough knoledge about it:blush:

Hi guys

Welcome Dear Ali

No, Problem my English is poor, too.

Sorry but your sentnce is grammatically wrong :blush:

I want to join your topic but I can not speak good

You must put an adverb instead of adjective. adjectives come before nouns or after the verb "to be"

so it must be written as:

I want to join your topic but I can not speak well​

hi BEHZAD
thanks for correct my mistake
I want to try to speak in this topic and improve my speaking and grammar

good' is a nonstandard dialectal variant for 'well', hence: the baby can walk pretty good.

Sure thing, just as a lil complement to what you said.

They say "Honesty is the best policy" You agree?

.I agree but unfortunately in our country it's vice versa. In order to get promote in your job you must be unscrupulous person. secondly, It's strongly depends on the situation. .The real question is to what extent a person can be honest in this/ that situation​

This level is, in my opinion, the most helpful of all, it still looms large in my legend. c​

Any comment abt writing essays 4 toefl/ielts? I even haven't got efficient ideas how 2 right in Farsi

It's very hard 4 me to support my ideas and write something noteworthy abt it. Specially when it comes to subjects I don't know much abt (biological 4 instance).​

In islamic beliefs there is no buts for honesty except in conditions that someone's life is in danger. I'm tired of hearing this phrase "in our country ..." I think it's time to be more honest with ourselves that infact we are making our country. Afterwards you should answer this question you want to choose justice or you want to go with the stream. Unfortunately the answer for lots of people is the latter and most of the time stream goes the wrong way. You choose your way and let other choose theirs​

hi guys...see you're talking about honesty...well about me...i 'm just honest to whom that i care about...fortunately or unfortunately im not that person to

answer lie with honesty in order to teach others the honesty...but i still think honesty is a complicated issue to discuss about

As long as you and your profit is in centre of your idealogy , honesty and every adjective is relative and in every situation your answer depends on where is your profit .You can see a practical example of my words in operations of USA . Killing people is bad as long as killed people are american but it becomes the best thing when they kill Moslem people
I repeat it again adjectives are absolute honesty is good as well as lie is bad
Finally I can see why the answers is so different. look at the first sentence "honesty is the best policy" and what the best policy is,DOING ANY TRICKS TO WIN YOUR PROFIT,isn't it​

lets talk about another think...i suggest morality

because its the only thing that i dont see much in people's behavior these years....what has become of us??do you blame the social condition or the

culture or other things

 

[signup1389]

If I don't say morality is the most important goal of religion at least it's one of them
Molana said invoke to god politesse because impolite person is deprived of God's beneficence
In my apinion, a reason of immorality is irreligion and a reason of irreligion is poverty
Prophet Mohammad said when poverty comes in from door faith goes out from window​
