«In two studies of breast - fed infants involving more than 3,000 children in Britain and New Zealand, breastfeeding was found to raise intelligence an average of nearly 7 IQ points if the children had a particular version of a gene called FADS2.

Future studies will need to clarify the exact role of these genes in intelligence in order to obtain a more complete picture of how genetic differences lead to differences in intelligence.

So, for example, just to say for the sake of argument, that there's a gene that influences the width of the birth canal, and lets say that some versions of the gene leave women more likely to have trouble giving birth, so that their children have loss of oxygen and that could lead to changes in the brain that lead to lower intelligence scores.
