Intelligence, genetic disease linked

I went to Intelligence, genetic disease I'm writing my assignment about this article on my web log: http://www.muhammad178.blogspot.com/>


This Study of Ashkenazi Jews' says there's an uncommon element between their genetic diseases and their higher intellectual ability; the study was made by the University of Utah. That factor is a result of natural selection for increased intellectual ability according to Cambridge University. The New York Times reported that in Europe back in medieval centuries, to get a job you needed more "mental agility". Some scientists say the study is very unbelievable, and others say it is an interesting study. Researchers from Utah U say that diseases such as "Tay-Sachs" could come from genes that increase intelligence; Jews for 900 years were working as managers which require high intelligence rate. Finally, Ashkenazi Jews are 3% of the American people, the won 27% of America's Nobel prizes, and they are half of world chess champions.


In my opinion, I think intellectual ability required a lot of energy, which decreases a human body's immune system. That increases the chance of getting diseases according to the study of Utah U, which is a natural thing according to Cambridge U. I think some jobs which are sensitive require more intelligent employees. I agree with scientists that this study is so interesting in some cases and it is scary for intelligent people. As a result of being intelligent, you can win some awards such as the Nobel prize and win some games such as chess. In conclusion, I believe that harmful diseases can affect people and hurt them because of their genes, especially intelligent ones.
