New research shows that race and class do not affect baby's development

Research has shown that babies are born equal, regardless of clbad or race.

The idea that race or clbad determine intelligence was revoked after experts revealed that babies born in similar circumstances would flourish regardless of their background, the Telegraph reported.

A team of researchers from Oxford University followed the physical and intellectual development of babies from around the world to the age of two.

Professor Stephen Kennedy, co-director of the Oxford Institute of Maternal and Perinatal Health, told The Telegraph: "At every stage we have shown that healthy mothers have healthy babies and healthy babies. grow exactly the same pace.

"No matter where you live, no matter the color of your skin, regardless of race or ethnicity, decent medical care and good nutrition are essential."

The INTERGROWTH-21st project, which lasted seven years, followed nearly 60,000 mothers and babies into the uterus and followed more than 1,300 to two years.

Mothers around the world have been selected for their health and their lives in clean urban areas.

The results showed that, just as physical growth, behavior and neurodevelopmental milestones occur at the same rate in babies of different ethnic origins.

Although the study should help settle the debate over the role of genetics in determining intelligence, controversial badumptions have also been made about the intellectual capacity of different races.

Last week, Cold Spring Harbor's American laboratory severed its ties with Nobel laureate geologist James Watson, who, along with Maurice Wilkins and Francis Crick, proposed for the first time the double helix structure of the DNA, citing his remarks on race and intelligence.

Dr. Watson, the former Chancellor of the laboratory, has always suggested that genes cause a disparity in the average scores of IQ tests between blacks and whites.

Professor Kennedy added, "The scientific and secular communities are still very numerous, because they really believe that intelligence is primarily determined by the genes and environment in which you live, and that your parents and your grandparents lived. and their nutritional and health status are irrelevant.

"Well, that's clearly not the case."
