In a blow to dads everywhere, children apparently inherit all their intelligence from their mums, according to scientists.

Due to intelligence genes being carried on the X chromosome, women are more likely to pass them on as they have two, compare to one for men.

And researchers in Glasgow believe genes for advanced cognitive functions which are inherited from the father may be automatically deactivated - meaning they have no effect on their children.

Tests on mice found that those given extra maternal genes developed larger heads and brains but with smaller bodies, while those with added paternal genes had small brains and large bodies.

The scientists extended their study to humans and after interviewing 12,685 people between the ages of 14 and 22 every year from 1994, concluded that that the best predictor of intelligence was the IQ of the mother.

But while genetics may play a part in intelligence, scientists added that environmental factor also play a large part.

Researchers at the University of Washington believe children who were supported emotionally have higher growth in the parts of the brain that are associated with memory, learning and stress response.

This strong bond is thought to give a child a sense of security which gives them confidence to solve problems.

So, singo mothers are raising geniuses like Kassin Obama?

3

Scientists often contradict one another.

4

UPUSS… I know a few girls who are as dumb as a door knob yet they have very intelligent kids bana

5

So tuseme ufala ya mtoi ni kutoka kwa ma mbuyu. Ati like mzee njoro like kush kanono … hio ni hekaya

6

so the mjinga kama mamayako is spot on!

7

but if you have to share geneses to bring forth a kid…then that should mean that technically there are no intelligence genes on the Y chromosome,therefore a woman should naturally be twice smatter than a man.Villagers mnakubali? if that is the case then why do scientist say that men are better in sciences and women better in language…this white scientists are stupid as f…k

8

Wanataka kitunguu inukie kwao bila shaka.

9

Utaambiwa wamepeana recessive genes za intelligence.

10

Hiyo hypothesis imefikiwa aje? A boy child carries XY while a girl child XX. Thus if intelligence is carried in the X chromosome, the conclusion should be;
Boys definately get their intelligence(or lack of)from their mums while daughters could get it from either parent.

Traditionally chenye si tuatambua ni mjinga ni wa mama, mwerevu ni wa baba. Hayo mengine ni upuss.

I.o.w. tradition and science are like oil and water.
