So, some scientists decided to get together and research whether or not children's cognitive developments and levels are in any way correlated to their father's age. Turns out that the older the father was at the time of conception, the worse the children scored on the test scores. (Thank you doc's, one more reason men will be found readily unavailable during their child-seeking mate's procreation peaks...) The researchers analyzed the scores of 33,437 children who, as part of the project, had been tested at regular intervals in a variety of cognitive skills, including thinking and reasoning, concentration, memory, understanding, speaking and reading, as well as motor skills. Now, the most astonishing part of this article was, to me, the fact that they nonchalantly recorded the following information:
Fathers in the study were age 14 to 66, while mothers were 12 to 48.
14 and 12? How many 14 and 12 year old parents were they able to conjure up? Aiy yai yai.
Anyway - Here's to you dudes, nothing wrong with making little minie-yous past the age of 40, just don't go hoping for a little rocket scientist. :)
kidding. kind of.
