.@sapinker @EssiViding @sarahknapton Which implies there may be no genes "for intelligence" http://www.wiringthebrain.com/2012/07/genetics-of-stupidity.html?m=1 … (if index of robustness)

@WiringTheBrain Isn't the question not if IQ tied to fitness, but to what extent it's env v mut load v adaptations? 50-40-10? 30-30-20? -
.
@ntaylor963 Question is whether such genetic diffs specifically affect IQ or whether they affect robustness generally and IQ just an index -
@WiringTheBrain Sure. Guess my point was I sometimes read you and conclude this is 100% of the story. IQ narrow specific alleles don't exist -
.
@ntaylor963 IQ clearly also affected by culture - keeps increasing, w/ better nutrition, education + prob habits of abstract thinking

@sapinker What about life history? Slower life history and higher intelligence go together. Faster life history, more health problems.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker How did they deduct that from a retrospective study? It would be more logical the other way around: genes>disease>IQ dropThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker@sarahknapton this makes perfect sense when one thinks of the body holistically rather than the classical triad: mind body soul.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker I think if more research is done they will show a higher sex drive too -
@MalcolmSpark@sapinker no need for research, I can confirm that

Actually more intelligent people may be more inclined to study themselves deeper & study how to stay healthy even more than others
