Abstract
"The bases of genetic intelligence"
The quantitative genetic research significantly suggests the substantial
genetic influence or the individual differences of intelligence.
Each group of “generalist” geniuses seems to contribute a diverse
ability or disability in learning (for example, reading or mathematics)
as well as being established in their diverse cognitive ability or
disability (verbal or spacial, for example). The research is looking
to identify some of these “generalist” geniuses using new techniques
of molecular genetics, for example, the micro-sequences that show 500,000
indicators of DNA at the same time and therefore make it possible
to scan a wide gamut of genomes.
