Pleiotropy and Phenotypic Plasticity: Exploring the Correlation between Cognitive Traits and Craniofacial Morphology Throughout Human Development

Palabras clave: high iq, phenotypic changes, behavioral genetics, neurodevelopment, phenotypic plasticity

Resumen

This study investigates the hypothesis that individuals with a high intelligence quotient (IQ) experience more significant phenotypic changes throughout their lives compared to the general population. Using a sample of 40 high-IQ individuals from the Gifted Debate group, this study analyzed self-reports of physical changes from childhood to adulthood. The majority of participants (90%) reported substantial alterations, while the remaining 10%, diagnosed with twice-exceptionality, may not have distinct perceptions of their phenotypic changes. The analysis focused on the correlation between high IQ and phenotypic plasticity, exploring potential genetic bases for these changes.
