Even scientific research recognizes Jews extremely smart

We often say that Jews are the smartest people in the world. However, this is not groundless judgment but has been proven by science.

In 2005, a study showed that Jews had superior communication and calculation skills compared to other ethnic communities.

In the 20th century, although Jews accounted for only 2% of the US population, up to 27% of the country's scientists won the Nobel Prize for Jews. Not only that, about 25% of mathematicians won the Fields Medal (with a similar value to Nobel in mathematics), 25% of the ACM Turing Award winners (computer array), 9/19 chess champions. . is Jewish.

The average IQ of Jews according to many studies is about 110 from the global 100 level. Although only 10 difference, the rate of genius production between 2 levels is about 120-150 times.

2015 data show that Jews accounted for less than 0.2% of the global population with about 14.3 million people. However, as early as the 19th century, about a quarter of the world's scientists were Jewish. A series of famous names such as Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Otto Frisch . are Jewish.

So why are Jews smart, according to scientists' understandings?

Argument 1: Does God want Jews smart?

Before talking about Jews, we need to talk about their religion because the people are quite religious . This is one of the factors that makes Jews not lose their identity and dissolve with other peoples and beliefs.

Judaism was born about 3,000 years ago and is the second oldest religion in the world after Hindu religion (4,000 years). But Hinduism is a polytheism so it is possible to say that Judaism is the world's oldest monotheistic religion. Accordingly, the Jews only worship a single god and certainly no saint or god is human.

This caused Christianity, which had a profound influence on the West and the world, to hate Jews because they considered God Jesus to be the son of God. However, thanks to this view, belief in the Jewish community is not easily understood in different meanings, creating conflicts in society.

In the Torah, the prophet Moses' commandments record that the Jews were chosen by God (Chosen People) to convey their will, enlighten and lead to other peoples.

Judaism is also quite different from many other religions when not too many rigid commandments are recorded.

According to many scientific experts, this religious view may have had a profound impact on Jewish society as it motivated the people to strive and enlighten themselves to fulfill the task assigned by the lord. .

In particular, this view also explains why Jews love to earn money by wealth as a consequence of creative and enlightening workers.

Besides, Judaism is also quite different from many other religions when not recording too many rigid commandments or ancient rules that force people to follow. Instead, Jewish Torah sutras often ask questions that suggest thought and creativity as well as many different answers depending on the circumstances.

During weekend meals (Sabbath) or when family reunion, the scene of people discussing the Torah, debating the open reasoning is normal and perhaps this is the reason why the Do Thai has deep thoughts about life.

Point 2: 2,000 years ago, up to 90% of Jews were literate

Another reason why Jews are smarter than other ethnic groups is because they attach importance to studying.

The Tamud Bible from more than 2,000 years ago by Jews has asked parents to teach their children to read and write since they were 6 years old. In other words, the education of children since childhood is no longer a matter of morality, responsibility of the state or simply worrying about the future of children. Jews have raised education to a kind of dogma in faith.

Obviously, no Jewish parents dare not educate their children from the age of 6 if they do not want to be alienated or criticized for violating the doctrine.

As a result, more than 2,000 years ago, up to 90% of Jews escaped illiteracy. If the ratio is not very impressive to you, please repeat that 2,000 years ago, most Jews were peasants, nomads and even wandering here and there.

Even more impressive, if you know that most people in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East at the time were literate, what the Jews did was extraordinary. At that time, literacy was quite a luxury and only the clergy and aristocracy were able to learn. The people of the lower class did not have enough time or purpose to learn the word when they were still busy living or surviving.

Hebrew books in Hebrew also play an important role in education.

With a high literacy rate, Jews are naturally involved in the commercial sector as well as being trusted by traders when it comes to calculating.

In addition, the Hebrew scriptures in Hebrew also play an important role for this nation's education and understanding.

Due to the early loss of water and the need to live in many places before Israel was founded, any Jew must be literate to be able to read the scriptures anywhere, under any circumstance. This is understandable when Jews are quite religious.

Besides, because of having to live in many places, it is natural for Jews to speak at least 2 languages. According to scientists, usually people who know many languages ​​are usually smarter than ordinary people.

The early loss of the Jews by the Jews when the Assyrians conquered the kingdom of Israel and caused the Jewish people to exile in 722 BC made this people self-reliant, surpassing the circumstances to survive. . Perhaps, the lack of luck in losing the country caused the Jews to become smarter and less likely to be eliminated quickly.

Point 3: Maintain breeds, preserve and screen genes

Smart Jews, that's the truth. However, this intelligence not only takes place in one generation but is proven genetically for many generations.

A 2009 study found that Jews had a relatively high incidence of diseases such as Hand Sachs neurological disorders, which caused the body to die before age 5, or Canavan's disease, causing the child to die before age 2. This study shows that the fact that Jews often marry in the community and rarely get outsiders has caused bad gene pairs in the community to have a higher likelihood of combining, creating a higher incidence of illness in children. what.

On the contrary, it is because of this factor that the dominant or intelligent genes of previous lives are highly capable of being inherited later, even more intensely than before.

The study suggests that special genetic pairs are maintained in the Jewish community. While weak individuals are eliminated by illness and death when young, healthy, intelligent individuals are screened and gradually grown to this day.

For example, parents have genes corresponding to AA / aa and BB / bb, in which AA and BB are positive genes and aa and bb are negative genes. When Aaaa is combined with BBbb, her life will produce 4 possibilities: AA / BB, AA / bb, aa / BB, aa / bb.

At that time, aa / bb pair will show poorly and early to be eliminated in the community due to illness or inability to adapt to the environment, while the AA / BB pair will have a positive appearance compared to the previous life. The other two pairs continue to carry dominant genes of their parents to transmit to the next life.

Jews often marry in the community and rarely marry outsiders.

In other words, it is the bloodless dilution in the Jewish community that preserves the rare genetic characteristics of this nation.

Not only that, the maintenance of the race and the dominant dominant genes in the Jewish community has been upgraded to dogma. Normally, other ethnic groups and countries often encourage and advise young people to get married and have a good match.

However, this screening has even been included in the Jewish sutras when the missionaries, prestigious people in the social community as well as the spiritual guidance for everyone are prescribed to be the smartest, yes extensive knowledge.

The word Rabbi (Rabbi) in Hebrew also means 'good man' of the teacher , thereby showing the important role of these missionaries.

It is not worth mentioning that the missionaries are erudite if compared to many other faiths, the special point is that these missionaries are allowed to marry and even have many children. Because of the high reputation in the Jewish community, these missionaries are very easy to get married, and even are allowed to choose marriage marriages. Usually these missionaries will choose the object of the clergy class, then transfer to the merchant families.

In this way, elite genes in the elite of the Jewish elite are preserved and continually inherited.

Even in the Jewish bar, there are many sections that encourage families to have money for their daughters or scholars. Clearly, intelligence and smart genes are highly regarded by Jews.

Another factor that makes the Jews motivate good genes in the community is the idea of ​​encouraging reproduction for conditional families, while difficult couples are advised to give birth to a planned child. In order to ensure the best born children are raised. In this way, bad genes are screened while smart genes are encouraged to replicate.

Point 4: Intelligence into the mouth

Talking about the intelligence of Jews, it is impossible to ignore the problem of eating, because this is an extremely important factor contributing to the development of this nation.

Jews almost exclusively eat Jewish food (Kosher) made in their own way. For example, the meat of animals in a Jewish manner has to take all the quickest way, causing the animal to die as quickly as possible without pain. Meat must be soaked and cleaned to clear all blood.

The reason for this is that the Jews considered that the blood of animals containing beasts and humans could become repressive and degenerate if they eat them.

However, scientists have more reasonable explanations for the ritual rites in Jewish food. For example, do not drink milk or use dairy foods when eating but must be used 30 minutes or 6 hours after eating. The reason is that milk has a lot of protein which makes it difficult to digest and absorb.

Not eating meat with fish is because they react to each other in the digestive system, not good for health. Meanwhile, the regulation of not eating meat has been bitten by beasts to avoid infection as well as hygiene.

A McDonald's store follows Jewish Kosher standards.

Obviously, with a smart diet , ensuring health is one of the factors that makes Jews have superior intelligence compared to many other peoples.

In addition, some experts believe that the cumbersome rules of Jewish food make this ethnic group always remind themselves of their origin, not depend on and lazy, always grateful for having food.

However, due to having wandered many places in the world, in cases of force majeure, Jews can still eat ordinary food. Judaism also does not force believers to eat only kosher, unlike Muslims who eat only Halal. Compliance with this regulation depends entirely on the awareness and responsibility of each household.

Interestingly, not only Jews, today more and more people realize the good effect of Kosher food. Although Jewish goods are 20-30% more expensive than regular food, more and more Americans use this food.

Jews make up less than 2% of the US population but Kosher-labeled packaged foods account for 41% of the market. Total US Kosher sales in 2009 reached US $ 17 billion, up 70% from the previous 5 years.

The Mintel survey also found that 62% of respondents said they bought Kosher because of good food quality, while 52% said they bought it because it was healthy.
