Intelligence genes discovered by scientists
2015-12-22
[Telegraph] Genes which make people intelligent have been discovered and scientists believe they could be manipulated to boost brain power.

Researchers have believed for some time that intellect is inherited with studies suggesting that up to 75 per cent of IQ is genetic, and the rest down to environmental factors such as schooling and friendship groups.
Friendship groups? So I'm smarter because I hang out here?
But until now, nobody has been able to pin-point exactly which genes are responsible for better memory, attention, processing speed or reasoning skills.

#2  And they're probably only found on the x chromosome, making women twice as smart as men.

#1  No doubt these genes will be found to express themselves most fully when paired with liberal-progressive genes. Or so it will be reported.
