For anyone who came to this article hoping it might contain any actual concrete or interesting information about the nature of human intelligence: it doesn't. Go ahead and skip the read.

Complete agreement. It's easy to detect fluff articles on the topic of genius -- they tend to include pictures of tissue samples taken of Einstein's brain, the presence of which can only confess how little we know.
