Research has shown that the genetic profile of the mother determines how smart her children will be, and that the father has no influence on the child's intelligence.
Experts have known for a long time that intelligence is "carried" by the X chromosome, and women have two, while men only have one. Which means you are more likely to get your intelligence from your mother.
The research has been ongoing since 1994. Scientists from Glasgow interviewed almost 13.000 people from 14 to 22 years old once a year from 1994 to the present day, and concluded that according to the mother you can tell how intelligent the child will be.
Scientists do not exclude the influence of the environment. So if you don't consider yourself the most intelligent person, don't immediately blame your father.
Namely, upbringing and relationship with parents also affects children's intelligence. - writes Ordinacija.
