Are there any physical traits associated with high IQ?

There is ongoing debate in the scientific community about whether certain physical traits are associated with high intelligence quotient (IQ). While some studies suggest that certain features such as larger brain size, increased cortical thickness, or enhanced connectivity between brain regions might be correlated with higher IQ scores, these correlations are often weak and not conclusive. Additionally, it is important to note that intelligence is a complex trait influenced by multiple genetic, environmental, and socio-cultural factors. Therefore, it is challenging to establish a direct causal link between specific physical characteristics and high IQ.
