height has nothing to do with inteligent... height is more about hormone complexities more on the physiological aspects... while intelligence is more about ones ability...more on the mental capability and capacity

no there's no link. height and intelligence are not of similar genes and there is no link between them. both are polygenic (affected by various genes) and other factors such as an extra 21st chromosome (down's syndrome) can also have an effect. they are not interlinked as they are controlled by many genes all over the genome. you will not be able to decipher any relationship from population studies. however, it's been shown that a larger medulla oblongata does lead to higher intelligence in most people. einstein had a really big one.

naw it doesn't directly affect intelligence. BUUUUUT heres the thing. If you tall your more likely to aspire to somthing else other then being book smart. like sports for example. So if you observed a ton of tall people not being as brite or intelligent as a bunch of little guys running around thinking about who knows what then that is prolly why.

Even at the highest level,it can't be true.A giraffe is no less intelligent than a mouse.If you say that keeping in touch with Mother Earth can be a problem for taller people,there appears to be apparent case for investigation.

Yes, intelligence goes down the taller you are.
Ever see a brilliant 7-footer? All the geniuses are 5 feet tall and wear glasses with tape on them.

When I'm high, I feel intelligent.
