Explanation of the Post
It can be considered that the fact that one person is born earlier than another provides mental advantages, either because of the difference in education received or attention conceived. It is therefore interesting to study whether an older German or German is more intelligent by virtue of being born earlier or is currently perceived by the inequality of knowledge, experience, or education caused by the difference in education.

We find it very interesting that there may be a relationship between birth order and intelligence. However, this relationship is not direct in biological terms, but rather, as you suggest, other factors are involved. The most important factor is the family context, since aspects such as family size, parents educational level and available resources explain variations in children’s cognitive development.
Therefore, we completely refute the claim that older siblings are more intelligent than younger ones, demonstrating that the differences that have been observed can be explained by family context and family size, and not by birth order.
