Question

Is it true that a higher percentage of a person's intelligence comes from his mother?

Answer 1

I doubt it, unless you're including the mother's contributions to the child's environment and development (since women still do the majority of the child rearing).

Answer 2

i just mean in terms of genetics

Answer 3

I'm not sure how it could be true...

The only difference between a mother's contribution and a father's are the sex chromosomes: women always give an X, and men give either an X or a Y.

Oh, and the mother provides the mitochondria, but I don't think they're linked to intelligence.

Answer 4

they are not well at least i dont think so
