I believe in the facts

No way, there's more potential in kids than based on just genes

I think there might be a correlation as lower birth weight might be due to other factors impacting the child's development

Premature babies or primies are usually born with very low birth weight but most primies i know are smart...

No single factor can determine intellect - it’s mix of both nature and nurture

There are many factors, but weight seems to be the least relevant to judge

More important is the environment that the baby is raised in

Don’t waste time and money doing meaningless research

What a weird way to determine what a child will be 😒

Don't believe that weight and intellect is correlated

Circumstance, surroundings, exposure, bit of genes

Correlation does not equates to causation
