Genetics and Intelligence

Google Tech Talk (more info below) August 18, 2011 Presented by Steve Hsu. How do genes affect cognitive ability? I begin with a brief review of psychometric measurements of intelligence, introducing the idea of a "general factor" or IQ score. The main results concern the stability, validity (predictive power), and heritability of adult IQ. Next, I discuss ongoing Genome Wide Association Studies which investigate the genetic basis of intelligence. Due mainly to the rapidly decreasing cost of sequencing, it is likely that within the next 5-10 years we will identify genes which account for a significant fraction of total IQ variation. We are currently seeking volunteers for a study of high cognitive ability. Participants will receive free genotyping. Speaker Info: Steve Hsu is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Oregon and Director of its Institute of Theoretical Science. Educated at Caltech and Berkeley, he was a Harvard Junior Fellow and Assistant Professor at Yale before moving to Oregon in 1998. He is also the founder of two Silicon Valley software startups in the area of information security. He serves as Scientific Advisor to the Cognitive Genomics Lab of BGI (formerly the Beijing Genomics Institute), one of the leading genomics research centers in the world.

The Origin of Intelligence

This is the first in a 3 part series on the origin of intelligence. Future videos will discuss the origin of the brain, and the origin of cognition. In them we will see that human intelligence is not of supernatural origin. It is merely the product of evolution by natural selection.

What is multiple intelligence theory?

www.mslaw.edu What is the MI theory? Howard Gardner, author of Five Minds for the Future, discussed his multiple intelligence theory on the television show Books of Our Time with host Lawrence R. Velvel (visit Velvel's blog at www.velvelonnationalaffairs.com), Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law. Gardner discusses his belief that one's intelligence cannot be categorized as simply smart, average, or dumb. He suggests that such terms are far too generic as each individual is the combination of what he calls multiple intelligences (MI). He suggests that each skill that one is good or bad at, whether chess or academic pursuits, is a separate intelligence and should be observed as such. Gardner's theory revolutionizes the human perception of intelligence. Watch the whole interview at

US 'intelligence war' triggers 'Occupy spy base' in UK

Menwith Hill, the largest intelligence gathering and surveillance center outside the US, in the heart of the UK's Yorkshire Dales, is surrounded by protesters demonstrating against America's planned missile defense system. The local residents, often camping outside, have been joined by members of the global Occupy movement, supporting ongoing local efforts. To keep up with new types of warfare, billions of dollars has been invested in Menwith Hill over the last decade. It has enabled the base to remain a vital component of the global US surveillance network. RT on Twitter: twitter.com RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com
