>>Ross: A new study from Edinburgh university has found a link between IQ and height, suggesting
that those who are shorter are on average more likely to be less intelligent.
>>Lee: WHAT! That Doesn’t make no sense, more likely to be less intelligent, more to
be less, what? Ross I’m confused, how can someone be more likely to be less of something
its scientificle impossibly.
>>Ross: academics identified genes that influence both height and IQ and said there was a significant
genetic correlation between the two factors.
>>Lee: PBBBT.
>>Ross: Now Riccardo Marioni From Edinburgh university’s institute of genetics and moleculer
medicine… say that ten times fast… Lee: that, that, that, that, that, that, that…
>>Ross: Lee. Well they said that the link was small but important. And that people who
are taller tend to be smarter… with previous studies have used twin or family data to examine
similarities between height and intelligence, whereas ours was the first to examine this
using actual DNA markers in unrelated people.
>>Lee: well this is just, I have thoughts, how tall is dexter huh? He was smart.
>>Ross: the psycho killer
>>Lee: No, the one with a laboratory.
>>Ross: fictional and a kid…
>>Lee: are you sure???
>>Ross: Now IQ was measured by tests that examined reaction times, powers of recall,
and linguistic ability… and its hoped that revealing the genetic correlation between
height and Iq could help predict a persons health problems.
>>Lee: Like for instance did you know that Higher IQ has been linked to longevity and
a decreased risk of coronary disease stroke and suicide, and short stature has been linked
to a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease.
>>Ross: wow, see that sounded smart.
>>Lee: I reads it off of word box….
>>Ross: Question: So guys what do you think is there a correlation between height and
intelligence?
>>Lee: PBBBBBBTTTT!!!
