Past studies have linked an individual's intelligence to his or her height, cardiovascular function and longevity, but now a new study suggests semen quality may be added to that list, since it also appears to help predict the level of a man's intelligence.
The findings as a whole suggest that both intelligence and semen quality are fitness traits -- characteristics evolved to promote survival -- that are influenced by genetics.
Other studies on twins of both sexes, and on adopted individuals, have demonstrated that, by middle age, a person's smarts are highly influenced, and at least partially predicted, by genetic makeup.
Brain activity and semen quality would seem to have little connection, but that's one reason why lead author Rosalind Arden, a King's College London researcher, and her team decided to study a possible link.
Based on outcome-based (our children) research, Seraphina and Pooch Dog can verify the accuracy of this article. Is knot-headedness inverserly related to semen quality?
So my post on this exact research wasn't good enough for you? I see.
