Smart head or smart head?
In nature, the brains of insects are often as small as the tip of a needle, and they often become the victims of vertebrates with developed brains. Cats, dogs and rabbits have smaller brains than people, so they can't compete with people.
That's why humans are called. The spirit of everything? Spirit is a spirit with a developed head. In the animal world, apes are among the best in intelligence, but their brains are far less heavy than humans. Chimpanzee brain weighs 420g, gorilla is nearly 500g, ape-man 1450g, Peking ape-man 1075g, and Lantian ape-man is only 850g. In human society, the brain weight of newborn babies is only about 390 grams. As he grew up, his brain became heavier and bigger, and his intelligence was highly developed. In old age, the weight of the brain is reduced, and the level of intelligence is also reduced. All these seem to prove that the brain is big and smart.
However, in fact, big head is not necessarily smart. For example, a mouse with a small head has a better memory than a rabbit with a bigger head. In terms of brain weight, people are not second to none. The whale's brain weighs 7000 grams and the elephant weighs 5000 grams, both of which are several times heavier than human beings, but their intelligence is far less than human beings. Therefore, anthropologists in the former Soviet Union used an indicator: brain weight * brain weight/body weight to indicate the degree of brain development. The bigger the index, the more developed the brain. Results The mouse was 0. 19, the ape was 7.35, and the human was 32.0.
Maybe in humans, the brain is bigger and smarter! The brain weight of the famous Russian writer Turgenev is 2012g. However, some world celebrities don't have heavy brains. The brain of Gauss, a great German mathematician who has studied many mathematical theorems and formulas, weighs1.492g, while that of Dante, a world-famous Italian poet, weighs1.420g, which is similar to that of ordinary people, but its intelligence level exceeds that of ordinary people. Einstein is one of the greatest scientists in modern times. He reads widely and has an amazing memory. After his death, American scientists studied his brain and found that it was no different from ordinary people.
Some celebrities have smaller brains. For example, the brain weight of Francois, a famous French novelist, is only 1.0 1.7 grams, and that of Benson, a German chemist, is only 1.259 grams, which is lighter than the average person, but this does not affect their talents in art and science.
Some scientists have studied that a healthy adult's brain weight is not less than 1000 grams for men and 900 grams for women, which will not affect the development of intelligence. In fact, there are many grooves in the brain, which increases the area of the cerebral cortex and the number of cells in the cerebral cortex. Therefore, a small head does not necessarily have fewer brain cells, and a big head does not necessarily have more brain cells. More importantly, a person's intelligence depends largely on his education and training.
Everyone has different opinions on whether cleverness lies in the brain or cleverness lies in the brain. In fact, this is a common absurd understanding. Because the level of wisdom is not determined by the size of the head. The size of the head is only a manifestation of a person's physical characteristics.
What factors determine cleverness?
Here? Fight? In the 1980 s, parents were most concerned about their children's health, of course, their ability, and all aspects of their ability were closely related to their intelligence. But what most parents don't know is that some intangible or tangible factors will directly affect children's intelligence and their healthy growth and future.
1. Mother's genetic gene
The results of long-term follow-up research by scientists show that the higher the education level of women, the higher the IQ of their children. It can be seen that intelligence can also be inherited. For this reason, women should learn more knowledge and improve their cultural literacy, which may make their babies smarter.
2. The importance of breastfeeding
For many women who love beauty, they are eager to get back in shape after delivery and deliberately ask for their own diet, resulting in insufficient breast milk for their children or choosing to wean their children on time within six months. Relevant parenting experts remind mothers that if they want their children to be smarter and have better intelligence, they must insist on breastfeeding. There is no need to wean your child for six months. Drinking breast milk for 12 months is better for the intellectual development of newborns. Breast-fed children are healthier and smarter than milk powder-fed children.
3. Children courting in different places are smarter.
If you are still complaining that you can't find another partner in your village, town and city, congratulations, you have a chance to have a offspring with higher intelligence. According to scientists' follow-up investigation on children and offspring born of intermarriage in different places and local areas, children born of long-distance love are healthier, with fewer genetic diseases and higher intelligence. It is said that there are several villages for fools in China, because there are almost no foreign blood sources in the villages, and the people in the villages have been married for generations. The genetic diseases in the blood source are getting more and more serious, and finally the terrible phenomenon of fools' village appears.
4. Healthy weight and healthy diet
Obese children are often more prone to health problems and mental problems, which are closely related to their fat accumulation caused by excessive intake of high-fat food and lack of proper exercise. Parents should always pay attention to their children's weight to avoid mental decline caused by obesity. Healthy diet, orderly eating, eating more fruits and vegetables and proper exercise are helpful to the healthy growth of children and their intellectual development. Parents need to pay attention to children who are picky eaters and partial eclipse, which is more likely to lead to malnutrition and mental retardation, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of children.
It is undeniable that although intelligence is influenced by heredity, the acquired environment also has a great influence on intelligence. That is, the acquired education, training and nutrition play a decisive role. Musical families have an edifying effect on children since childhood, but if children from musical families are placed in an environment without music at all, then children will never become musicians.
Have a smart baby, not expecting it? Weird trick?
Parents want their babies to be smart. To give birth to a baby with high IQ, we must first look at genetic factors, parents with low IQ? Turn over? The probability of giving birth to a smart baby, though not zero, is definitely lower than the combination of smart parents. On the basis of heredity, we should pay attention to scientific pregnancy preparation and postpartum care, that is, prenatal and postnatal care. There is nothing strange about scientific pregnancy preparation strategy, which can only be done in a down-to-earth manner.
Prenatal education during pregnancy > postpartum early education
Now the living standard has improved a lot, so parents pay more and more attention to their children's education at every stage. But remember, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the most important thing. As parents, we should understand the comprehensive prenatal education and then carry out it according to our own actual situation. Don't blindly follow the trend.
Modern medicine has confirmed that the fetus does have the potential miracle of receiving education, mainly through the central nervous system and sensory organs. Scientific and appropriate early human intervention in various ways can improve the function of fetal sensory organs under the stimulation of many benign signals, and also play a positive role in exploring the psychological potential of the fetus, laying a good foundation for early education after birth.
There are many methods of prenatal education, and it is not easy to adhere to prenatal education from beginning to end. But there is reason to believe that all couples who plan to have children will pay love, patience and time for their children, and you will certainly be able to do what others can do.
