They explain their study very thoroughly. Don't jump to conclusions til you listen to the audio. I think it has more to do with smarter people being better nourished. With nourishment comes height. It would've been even more interesting if they also found the average IQ's for people of certain heights. Would the 6 footers beat the 5'8" and so forth? |

I heard that somehow the weather condition can affect your intelligence.
For example, people live in colder climate tend to be smarter because they have to use their brain a lot of overcome difficulties. People who live in hot climate tend to be less smart, because the weather is too hot they just want to sit and relax the whole day. |

I heard that short people are more intelligent because we need to be to compensate.

That's retarded-it takes that much longer for the blood to get to their brains.
