[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but don't forget about reversion to the mean.... most very smart people will have kids who are less smart than they are.[/quote] Reversion to the mean can't possibly apply in the straight inheritance of genetic traits that make learning and retention easier - unless one of the highly intelligent parents chooses a less intelligent partner (I'm thinking trophy wife on this one). [/quote] School was easy for me but hard for my sister. Same for DH, who breezed through college while none of his three siblings finished. So our babies may get my easy-to-retain-information-and-connect-concepts genes or my sister's not-easy-to-retain-information-or-connect-concepts genes, right? [/quote]
