Did Albert Einstein's descendants inherit Einstein's IQ?
Einstein had three children. The eldest was a daughter named Lieserl. The world largely ignored her existence until a collection of letters between Einstein and his first wife were discovered in 1986. They mentioned a daughter born around 1902. The fate of this child is unknown, but she likely died very young. Einstein's second child was a son named Hans Albert, who earned a doctorate and became a university professor, becoming known as an expert in hydraulics. He was clearly very intelligent, although he did not appear to be on the same level as his father.

Eduard spent his life living in a mental hospital.
