These are the facts from the world of genetics from Moscow friend
1. Intelligence is not passed from father to son. That is, if you are a genius, then your son 100% will not inherit your genes.
2. Idiotism is not passed from father to son. If you are a complete nerd, your son will not be the same idiot as you.
3. Intelligence from the father can only be passed on to daughters. But only half.
4. A man can inherit intelligence only from his mother, which she ,in turn, inherited from her father.
5. Daughters of geniuses will be exactly half-smart from their fathers, but their sons will be geniuses. If their father is stupid, the daughters will be half stupid.
6. Ingenious women almost do not exist, and there are no 100% female idiots. But there are a lot of men-geniuses and men-dumb. Hence the generation of losers, alcoholics, single mothers. Nobel laureates are almost all men.
Findings for men:
"To predict your son's mental abilities, look at your wife's father (if he's an academic, your son will be smart too).
"Your daughter will get half of your mind. But half your stupidity. She'll be closer to you in intelligence. Her son will get all your mental abilities. If you want a smart generation, dream of a daughter.
"Your mental abilities are from your mother, or rather from your grandfather.
Findings for women:
"Your son is a copy of your father, so to scold him as "you are as stupid as your father" is not entirely true.
"Your foster daughter will be like you, but in the way of her father. Her sons will be mental copies of your husbands.
It is believed that the main result of the increase in life expectancy is that older people now live longer. But that's not the case at all. The main, huge, strategic, changing before our eyes all mankind consequence of the jump in life expectancy is not that old age now lasts longer, but that it begins much later.
For those today 40, 50, 55 year sold, old age will begin only in 75-80 years. That is, for a good 25 years - a quarter of a century!- later than for the generation of our parents.
Until very recently, there were only three main periods in human life: youth, maturity, old age. Now "maturity" happens in 50 and marks the beginning of a completely new, simply not existing before the stage in human life.
It lasts almost 30 years - from 50 to about 75.
Unlike previous ideas, the physical and intellectual capabilities of a person in this period with the right approach do not decrease, and remain, at least, not worse, and in some cases better than in youth.
Potentially, it is the best, most qualitative period in human life, because it combines health, strength and life experience. "If youth knew, if old age could"- it's no longer about us. According to all the statistics of recent years, the happiest time in life - peak, comes now at about 65 years.
Those who are 55-65 years old today live this period first in the history of mankind. It just wasn't there before, because people were getting old a lot earlier.
In the next few decades, people aged 50-75 will become the most mass-growing age group on the planet.
What is the difference between life after 50 and all your previous life? Yes, the fact that how to live after 50, we were never taught.
In infancy we are prepared for childhood, in childhood - to adolescence, in youth - to youth, and in youth we spend tens of hours preparing ourselves for the upcoming tests of maturity. And only the border in 50 years we cross, having no idea how, and for what to live on.
There's nothing surprising here. Where such knowledge comes from, if even for a generation of our parents in 50 years officially began old age, and to live on at all was not supposed, it was necessary to start to die a little bit.
We rarely realize that the life program that we follow rigorously as we travel through life is actually embedded in us by previous generations. It is previous generations created those books, films, education system, which in childhood and in youth form our consciousness.
But previous generations had no idea about life after 50 for the simple reason that after 50 years of life there was no in principle. Therefore, there are none in the program of life, which we inherited.
According to all the likely statistics for those who are 50-55 or so today, old age will not begin until the age of 80. Of course it's very nice. We just got it and gave it to us for 25 years (!) an additional active and eventful life. The problem is that using this gift is not taught. And as a result, by crossing the line at 50 and agreeing to premature old age out of ignorance, we risk losing a good 25-30 years that, without exaggeration, could be the best in our lives.
After 50 years in life comes a wonderful moment when there is time, health, strength, freedom from social obligations, experience, and before the beginning of old age, by modern standards, another quarter of a century!
There's no time to lose. Then we'll regret it!
If you are over 50, then for you today everything is possible: new hobbies, new joys and impressions, a new career, new love, new journeys.
