This is confusing cause and effect. People of higher intelligence end up with wealth and status, and since intelligence is genetic, their children generally have higher intelligence then average.
- rhino369 4y agoIntelligence is far far far from 100% genetic.
- DaveExeter 4y agoNope! Intelligence is 100% genetic. Ok, obviously ingesting lead or not being fed can lead to a decrease in IQ. Just as not being fed as a child can lead to a decrease in adult height, but we can still say that height is 100% genetic.
- hellisothers 4y agoI don’t think the OP was talking about genetics, I think they’re referencing that wealthy families are able to focus more resources on learning/education and thus generate “better students” via nurture not nature.
