'Those who carried more “education genes” tended to have fewer children than others. '
'The scientists used a database of more than 100,000 Icelanders to see how dozens of gene variants that affect educational attainment appeared in the population over time. '
'It overrides the genetic effect. '
'If all the genes that contribute to education were included, they add, that figure might rise to 0.3 points per decade. '
'Spending longer in education and the career opportunities that provides is not the sole reason that better educated people tend to start families later and have fewer children, the study suggests. '
