Marleen, no Tom was making the joke that men are dumber than women.  And being a powerful man should correlate negatively with IQ since having an high IQ would enable them to recognize all the ways they are abusing others in their quest for power; and how irrational having power is as opposed to creating real authority. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 11:00:46 -0800 From: Marleen Van Horne To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DNA] 22 Chromosomes Question Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Thanks to all who replied to my x Chromosome question, now, about the other 22, so they get mixed and matched in a way similar to the x, so that there is only one functioning strand for each chromosome? The article was particularly helpful. I was aware of the x chromosome influence on IQ, but I did not talk about it , because my source did not have genetic expertise. I heard it on NPR's Car Talk, many years ago. Tom brought it up one Saturday morning. I have since then been amused by all the powerful men who marry arm candy, then wonder why their sons cannot find their way out of a wet paper bag. No offense intended to any one in particular.
