20、 the discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in

What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103.
