Why are Geniuses and Highly Intelligent People Childlike?

Описание: This is a phenomenon known as ‘neoteny’, where childlike characteristics are retained into adulthood.

(This is sometimes an important aspect of evolution. It occurs in different species and may have played a role in the development of intelligence in humans in their deviation from earlier primate forms, e.g. larger head, loss of fur, etc.)

But I think you are referring to characteristics that are found in children that have been lost in adults, such as curiosity, openness to new ideas, and unrestrained creativity. (Obviously not things like size, physical abilities, knowledge, etc.)

In that respect you are correct. Many high IQ people are like children in some of those ways.

They are highly curious and they ask far more questions than others. They are less likely to simply accept facts that are given to them and often question the answers they find. Asking the primal question “WHY?” is an very important part of human development.

how do you know if someone is highly intelligent.
