Advice For Single Men Before Marrying: Men Should Choose Smart Women To Have Intelligent Kids- Study Says

Children inherit intelligence directly from their mom, according to a study. It is then important that men should look for smart women to make sure that the kids get the right intelligence genes.

A mother's genes are heading to the cerebral cortex while those of the father's go to the limbic system. "Genes housed on the X chromosome shed new light on the human mind, including why identical female twins differ more than male twins, why there are more male geniuses and male autists, and why you may have mom to thank for your brains..." Psychology Today reports. Your child may give the credit to your future wife but it does not matter as long as your kid is a genius, if you prefer that.

Here is something to take note from the study. If the child is a girl, the X chromosome inherited from her mother is like any other chromosome, or a random combination of genes from both of her mother's Xs. On the other hand, the X a woman inherits from the father is his one and only X chromosome, which is totally passed on, undiluted. The father therefore is twice as closely related to his daughter through the X chromosome genes that he has passed on as is her mother. Hence, any X gene from any mother has a 50/50 chance of being inherited by a daughter. But the X gene in a father is certainly passed on to the daughter.

A report on Intelligence and the X Chromosome that went viral recently claims that "genes on the X chromosome contribute disproportionately to human intelligence. There are several methodological and conceptual difficulties with this analysis ... and that X chromosomes can only be inherited from the mother, males would inherit most of their intelligence from their mothers."

Science explains the importance of chromosomes to the intelligence of a child. Nonetheless, not all human beings are born with the same intelligence. Some enter this world with autism. There are those who are categorized as high-functioning autistic individuals, who are mostly way too intelligent or genius so to speak. Some, however, have to journey this world as the opposite.
