This may be the first intelligence gene discovered; however, it also may be yet another study [1] that is contradicted by attempts to replicate it [2]. I don't know much about Cosmos Magazine, but it's a bit disappointing that a 'science' magazine would cite a single study as conclusive without waiting for peer review.

- jessriedel 15y agoI think you may be confused about the term "peer review", as the study referred to in the OP article certainly underwent peer review in the process of being published in Nature Genetics.
- antiterra 15y agoGranted. I meant "replicating experiments" to further validate the findings.
