Reading Determined by Sapolsky. An interesting study is mentioned. Seems like obvious results, but still. Birth month (read zodiac sign) correlates with university success.
The first study examines the impact of birth month on admission results at Oxford. Those born in September score on average higher than those born in August.
The second study looks at the effect of relative age (RAE) on British Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry, and medicine. Because the academic year in Britain starts in September, there can be up to a year’s age difference among students in the same class. This can put younger students at a disadvantage compared to the older ones.
It was found that out of 62 British-born Nobel laureates, 41.3% were born between September and November. This is significantly higher than laureates from other countries. Such a birthdate distribution among British Nobel laureates was not uniform.
There are also a number of similar studies that support these findings
