    • Main Results:

    • Confirmed a stunting effect of adverse environmental circumstances on child development.
    • Demonstrated that environmental factors impact development even when accounting for genetic influences on intelligence.
    • Findings highlight the significant role of the environment in shaping developmental outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Adverse environments significantly hinder child development and cognitive abilities.
    • Environmental interventions are crucial for mitigating negative developmental trajectories.
    • This study underscores the importance of considering environmental context in child development research.
