Education and teaching methods have changed since we were in school. I think that gives each new generation an advantage over the previous generation.

No, you're supposed to say just how much like me she looks! .What a beautiful little child!!! Yours??
My daughter didn't like dogs strangely enough, (her mother's influence again!!! ).I’m glad you didn’t take my post seriously, except the child really IS adorable. Yes you definitely CAN have both and I bet those two together can be like a place in heaven at times.

Nope no resemblance. I'm in the same boat. Dark complexion. My son was born fair skin with red hair. Definitely the mother's side of the family. My mother was very blunt when I asked her if he looked like me. She said "only in the pee pee".

Baldness is definitely an inherited trait. I still have all my hair. My son is bald. I remember the maternal side of the grandmother wearing a wig."Harsh but fair" or simply "no judge"?
I think it is certainly true to say so many traits from the maternal side predominate, though not hair colour, (my ex.'s hair was very dark). I consider myself a fairly good judge when it comes to likenesses of other people's children to their parents, but find it hard to judge my own child's likeness or otherwise. The fair hair comes from my mother though, as none of the other grandparents had fair hair, and her maternal grandmother was going moderately bald by fifty too, so my daughter will have to hope she doesn't inherit that characteristic). .
If you are going to see it at all it's in the older generations. I look like my father was at the same age.I almost never see a resemblance between parents/kids, or between siblings.

Bleach is pretty powerful stuff. Probably killed the roots. I doubt popular musicians used Clorox.What about baldness that doesn't occur naturally?
I'm guessing that would be different?
(Thinking of a distant relative who started losing his hair because, when he heard popular musicians 'bleached' their hair, he decided to try it- using Clorox...)
Oh, I'm sure the musicians took the sensible approach... but this guy wasn't too bright... resulting in a receding hairline while still in high school.Bleach is pretty powerful stuff. Probably killed the roots. I doubt popular musicians used Clorox.
Probably had it done by professional stylists.
"Returning to my theory", posted some way back, being smarter than the average must by definition almost, confer benefits to the individuals involved, so why are there so many stupid people like me in the world?Oh, I'm sure the musicians took the sensible approach... but this guy wasn't too bright... resulting in a receding hairline while still in high school.
I think you may have missed this comment made in my second post in the thread, quote:"..maybe I've aped up the dumb thing a tad, cos I'm quite hot on intelligence tests, (if they mean all that much),......."Why do you put yourself down, Graham?
Academic smarts are not the only indicators of intelligence.
My daughter was fairly average at school and her brother was quite gifted in the mathematical/logical intelligence subjects. However, daughter was seen as gifted in the social/emotional area. She went on to be a nurse, and son became a computer programmer/systems analyst with a Masters in web design. He became a manager, drank too much, left his wife and contemplated suicide.
Daughter has been a rock to her family, raised 4 kids, one intellectually disabled, one extremely intelligent and two pretty normal young ladies, one now a mother, the other has a Masters in Music Therapy but she is still hopeless at maths.
Daughter is now NUM of a facial/dental surgical unit at a major hospital in Sydney while son bums around in a country town as a maintenance man fixing computers and computerised equipment at a country hospital. Both are happy in their work and in their lives, so what actually is intelligence? It doesn't guarantee happiness any more than beauty does.
Believe me when I tell you that you are intelligent in your own way, just as I am in mine.
