Thus, if Einstein was correct, an astronaut traveling at extremely high speeds-say to a distant star and back-would age less during his trip than a twin brother who had remained on earth. Depending on the length of his mission, the astronaut could, upon his return, actually be years younger than his twin...

Calculations from twin data by and Durins appeared to prove that some other count of differences in intelligence should butter to hereditary factors 20 per cent to . However, this conclusion is not acceptable, since it is based on populations living the homogeneous range of environmental encountered in Britain or the U.S.A. allow for the much wider range of environmental differences between western middle- families and African or Indian peasants or australian shoriginals, the propotions would be more nearly 50-50 or even reversed. In it is not very meaningful to try to reach as general figure, since the genes...
