Today i learned that Intelligence is heritable and it was a gut punch knowing my parents.
Can anyone clue me in on how it’s expressed or is it a soft cap?
Are highly hifted children anomalies or is it just a good expression of genes?
In: Biology
Intelligence, at best, is 20% heritable. That word used in genetics means how much of the variation can be explained by your genes. In intelligence’s case, maybe your genes can affect 10-20 points. What matters more is the so called “environmental factors”. That is everything that isn’t related to your genes. Upbringing, luck whatever. That’s the major deciding factor.
