“Genes determine intelligence” critically discuss the contemporary evidence. Research on intelligence has been around for centuries one of the earliest known testing is said to be as early as 2200 BC where Chinese administrators tested civil servants periodically to make sure they acquired the necessary abilities/skills for their job. Today psychologist now test on weather intelligence is genetically induced and if so to what extent by taking into account environmental factors‚ using methods like

Journey of the brain-Birth to late adulthood Child development is crucial throughout the early years‚ during this time the development of the brain occurs and continues through late adulthood. The development of the brain contributes to the functioning of the body. The anatomy of the brain is made up of neurons and divided into four different lobes. The temporal‚ frontal‚ parietal‚ and occipital lobes control a variety of cognitive functions (Santrock‚ 2013). The

brain‚ such as speech‚ shifted to being controlled and centered in the left hemisphere of the brain‚ which controls the right side of the body naturally. By shifting important functions to the left‚ a bias for the right hand would be created. This lateralization and biased‚ according to the theory‚ is controlled by a gene‚ or a set of genes. More recent studies‚ specifically those of Dr. Amar J.S. Klar‚ agree with Annett on the assumption that the right-handed bias found in the population is caused by
