Hi Everyone!
In Intro we discuss Intelligence. One of the fascinating questions when studying Intelligence is how much and in what ways do genes and the environment influence Intelligence. A new article in the October 2008 issue of Scientific American Mind called "Searching For Intelligence In Our Genes" by Carl Zimmer has an update on the current research on how genes may influence Intelligence & how they interact with the Environment. The researchers are very excited to explore genetic influences as they may help identify intellectual weaknessese earlier and thus allow interventions earlier than in the past. They feel it may also help in educational settings.
