Niemand würde bestreiten, dass Menschen unterschiedlich intelligent sind. Aber wenn es um die Ursachen geht, schlagen die Wellen regelmäßig hoch. Öffentlich mag kaum jemand behaupten, dass die Gene hier eine größere Rolle spielen als Erziehung und andere Umweltfaktoren. Wer es tut, handelt sich schnell den Vorwurf ein, «Biologist» oder gar Schlimmeres zu sein. In der Fachwelt dagegen ist diese Auffassung seit langem Konsens. Dieter E.

Sind Einzelkinder stärker gefährdet? Ist die kleine Schwester schuld, die immer bevorzu...
