Your intelligence genes: 52 and counting
Live Science: Douglas Detterman, the Louis D. Beaumont University Professor Emeritus, discussed a study finding a correlation between 52 genes and intelligence. “What is interesting about this particular article is, it suggests what we have to do to really understand intelligence. It’s not going to be easy,” he said. “They suggest that the things they are finding are mostly implicated in neural development, so we’ll have to understand neural development and what it is about the brain that makes people smart.”
