Eleanor Sharples - Race and class DON'T matter, say scientists

New research shows healthy babies from any country or background develop at the same speed

I put out an article about this before, but this one has some extra details.

Babies are born with equal intelligence no matter what their class or race is, research has found.

The idea that race or class determines brain power has been dealt a killer blow after a seven-year global study found babies can thrive regardless of their background.

All children born to healthy parents in clean environments develop at approximately the same rate, with genes accounting for as little as 10 per cent of the process.

The research, by the University of Oxford, used data from more than a thousand children worldwide to try and settle the nature versus nurture debate for good.
