Researchers found that about 95 percent of the link between intelligence and longevity can be explained by genetic influences
“We found that the small relationship between intelligence and life span was almost all genetic”
This sounds like another useless study, but it is actually a major breakthrough in our understanding of longevity. It was previously thought that smart people live longer because they make smarter choices. WRONG. 95% of the difference can be attributed to genes that influence both longevity and intelligence.
