Scottish scientists decided to believe how true is the saying regarding the intelligence of people of different growth. Experts have found that undersized people, on average, less smart compared to tall ones. Scientists have studied DNA more 6.8 thousand unrelated people. In previous similar twins and people with family relationship. Scientists have identified genes responsible for growth and intelligence, and analyzed the results. “We managed to discover some connection showing that tall people tend to be smarter stunted “, – quotes the Daily Mail representative of the Department of Genetics and molecular medicine University of Edinburgh Riccardo Marioni. Scientists from the University of Aberdeen and University College London. Specialists based their conclusions from data collected through testing of thousands of people, passed between the 2006s of 2011. Coefficient IQ intelligence was measured using questions on reaction rate and linguistic abilities. According to scientists, about 70% of connections between growth and IQ can be explained by genetics, and the rest 30% – exposure to external factors. “We found a certain the relationship between genetically engineered human growth and his level of intelligence, “the scientists explained.
