The NS article also mentioned "increased risk of schizophrenia, autism and bipolar disorder in the children of older dads." So it isn't just IQ.<br /><br />As for mothers, they find that the child's IQ increases with age at which the mother bore him/her.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669262880976784735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-43534674112831237692009-05-29T19:26:44.082-04:002009-05-29T19:26:44.082-04:00Of course, it is an uneducated (yes Im an elitist ...Of course, it is an uneducated (yes Im an elitist bastard) viewpoint to assume "clocks" are only relevant in relation to sexual reproduction.

I'm guessing that the older fathers, on average, had older female partners.<br /><br />And Jordan, I don't know that you should rush out and start reproducing like a rabbit but there are some advantages (besides any possible effect on IQ) to having kids while you are younger. Energy level is one. Try keeping up with a 10 year old when you're 55 as compared to when you're 35. Getting them educated and out on their own is another. Have a child when you are 55 and she's not moving out until you are 75 or 80. On the other hand there are some advantages to waiting a bit. You are generally more mature and settled moving into your late 30s and 40s and you are probably better off financially.Die Anywayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632857696534495049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15005476.post-47590165738346168292009-05-28T13:13:47.442-04:002009-05-28T13:13:47.442-04:00Soooo what I'm getting from this article is that I...Soooo what I'm getting from this article is that I should start reproducing like a rabbit.
