Intelligence Inheritance: Who Does It Come From?
A Study Reveals the Role of the Mother
Who Inherits Intelligence?
A growing number of parents have wondered about the inheritance of intelligence in children. According to a recent study, the answer may lie primarily with the mother.
Dr. Jennifer Delgado Suárez, a psychologist, explains that this discovery stems from the fact that women possess two X chromosomes, while men have one X and one Y chromosome. Previous theories suggested that the larger portion of inherited intelligence originated from the mother's X chromosome.
This study adds to the ongoing debate about the influence of genetics and environment on intelligence. The findings suggest that the maternal X chromosome plays a significant role, providing valuable insights into the complexities of human inheritance.
