apparently in the last 60 years a gene mutated and created more genius'. Also the amount of people who have this gene has increased. Now they recone 10% of the population have it ... do u think ur one?

If a gene mutated 60 years ago, it would mutate in one person. There are probably at most 4 generations of families between now and then, and even assuming 4 children per generation, that is still only 256 people alive today who carry that gene.
So... your original statement is wrong... unless an identical mutation has happened in thousands of people... which is almost impossible.
But am I a genius? well... I seem to be more intelligent than most of the people asking questions on here ;)

my parents were born in the 60's, they grew up to be normal children but when they reached their teens, they started to discover that they have something that their friends dont have. they were more gifted than the others, they tried to explore their capabilities and their intellectual abilities until they both mastered them. later, they give birth to me, passing their "genius gene" to me... like them, i grew up like normal kids but then now, ive learned that im more than that... so i guess our family is part of that 10% that you're talking about.
