American scientists have devoted a large-scale study on the emergence of genius. As a result, it was found that genius does not depend on heredity, it is an exclusively acquired quality. Genes play a secondary importance, yielding primacy to a person’s personal desire to learn something new.
Scientists have said that there are genes that predispose a person to having high intelligence. As a rule, they are activated for the first time years of life. However, experts stipulate that no genes are capable of making a person a genius. In order for this to happen, we need constant systematic work. Talented musicians are given as an example. None of them could immediately compose a great work, it took hundreds of hours of practice. There is a theory that claims that in order to become an expert in any field, you need to devote it to the study of ten thousand hours.
