George and I talked about this some last night.<\/p>\n
Nature vs Nurture… I tend to think of both as bottlenecks for human development. The debate about which does more to me makes as much sense as debating which is better for a web application: Apache or MySQL? Both are involved and affect the end results. The debate should be about how to leverage the synergy of both, but that is another blog post.<\/p>\n
We humans have 46 chromosomes<\/a>. 23 from each parent which come in pairs. Males have an XY pair. Females have an XX pair. Brain Rules<\/a> was the first I’ve read that ~1500 brain-related genes<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0are on the X and ~100 on the Y (and losing ~5 every million years). So the X chromosome is quite important for determining brain development.<\/p>\n For boys, the one X they have comes from the mother. Girls inherit an X chromosome from both her mother or father. To set up the strong potential of great genes for boys, look to women who are really intelligent. That tells you there is a 50% shot for the boy to get a good X. If both of the woman’s parents are intellectuals, even better.<\/p>\n Be smart about it though… Don’t make an IQ score for the parents part of a prenuptual agreement.<\/p>\n My mother has occasionally said things I enjoy remind her of her father. That’s a biased sample.\u00c2\u00a0 George and I talked about this some last night. Nature vs Nurture… I tend to think of both as bottlenecks for human development.
