There yet another study on intelligence that surely has it nailed down this time.<\/p>\n
Surely. Study gives more proof that intelligence is largely inherited<\/a> – talks about intelligence being determined by the volume of the white matter, and therefore having a high genetic correlation (Let’s not even get into correlation v causation, much less figuring out what the hell intelligence is.) Of course the punchline here is that studies show that women have more white matter than men<\/a>, so we must just be genetically smarter, right? Except maybe we’re smarter by brain volume than men<\/a> because we have more grey matter. Confused? That’s brain imaging studies for you. Then again, maybe volume of white v grey only account for a few kinds of intelligence<\/a>, and we should just stick with good ol’ phrenology for the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There yet another study on intelligence that surely has it nailed down this time.
