Scientists have proved that tall people are more intelligent undersized

Scientists from the University of Edinburgh found a direct link between the growth of the person and his intelligence. 70% of communication is due to genetics, and the remaining 30% - by external influences.

Low and so people are suffering because of their growth, and now scientists have found that they can be still deprived of intelligence. At least, if we compare it with the intelligence of people tall . Scottish researchers have shown that people with short stature On average, less intellectually developed. They came to this conclusion when identified genes that influence and growth, and the level of IQ.

In the sphere of attention of researchers got 6800 unrelated kinship of people and science for the first time analyzed the DNA markers at such an angle. While the relationship between height and intelligence was not too big, it still is significant, as stated by the head of research Riccardo Marioni.

"We are finding relate whether genetic similarities in people with similarities growth and intelligence, - says Dr. Marioni. - Previous studies have touched on twins or other relatives when examined the relationship of growth and intelligence, but we first have unrelated people. We have found some connection, which shows that tall people are more likely to be smarter. "

With this statement, of course, is unlikely to agree to millions of Russians, whose growth is inferior to the average. And as an example, they can be called a lot of recognized geniuses of mankind, also featuring a large size. By the way, scientists at Oxford University recently found that stunted people likely to suffer from paranoid thoughts and fears. In addition, they are also more likely to face the attacks of burning jealousy. (READ MORE)
