Biological Signs of Intelligence

[Chubbz]

Is anyone that was born on this earth gifted with biological advantages in intelligence? Is that even a possibility? Cuz we all know what the biological advantages are in everything else. I'm talking to you Wilder Valder-something.

I think it's pretty obvious that I am living proof of such a thing.

It's not a yes or no question. Well it could be, but lets get some OT research rollin! GOOOO OATMEAL!

Actually, I believe it is a yes or no question. Or are you like one of those goddamn professors, who want you to explain your answer?

DIAF. :|

Yes. Not being born as a redneck is an extreme advantage already

 

[letdown427]

Yes.

I mean, Einstein wasn't clever because he was raised nicely. You can't possibly think that every person ever born on this earth (are there really others?) had exactly the same inherent ability and talent in every field, and some people become hugely intelligent and others miraculously stupid, just because of their formative years?

If everyone had the same level of intelligence, wouldn't we all learn to talk/walk/integrate after a set amount of time? Say we could talk at a baby for a set number of hours, until it learnt to talk.

Yes is my opinion, and I'm interested to hear the views of people who say no. Genuinely.

no. go ahead and point to some biological property that indicates intelligence.

What about Idiot Savants.. or however they are called... Like in the movie Rainman? Where he was dumb yet highly intelligent in other ways....

His brain was just wired differently. does that count??
