Are Geniuses Born of Made?

For too long we have considered this question and so far no one has given us a concrete answer. Opinions are for everyone. While some have argued that it is possible to produce geniuses in a particular education system, others argue that 80% of intelligence is inherited and 20% is acquired.
U.S. and Australian experts believe they have the answer, after identifying a part of the brain that is stimulated after being "disconnected" and seems to release other functions and creative capacity.
Examples abound in the Internet geniuses, such as Albert Einstein, Mozart, Isaac Newton, etc.. But there are special cases that science has failed to explain as follows:
The Symphony of Marc Yu
Two years sing a song heard at a birthday party and immediately went to the piano and played without a single error. A year later he was playing Beethoven. Now, with seven, is able to remember more than forty pieces and has a perfect pitch that allows you to identify musical notes as colors anyone identifies a capacity that can boast only about 10,000 worldwide fortunate.
But how Marc developed this amazing talent for music? Her mother played music as a baby, are we to do his genius or his gifted brain? Education plays a major role in the development of human intelligence.
Marc counter case which was stimulated from an early age, is Genie Wiley. Genie was born perfectly normal physically. Her father kept her locked up to 13 years of age. Genie had no contact with the world. Not even taught him to eat or go to the bathroom alone. His power, up to 13 years, consisted of baby food, cereal and boiled eggs, all of which were provided to hand him.
In 1970, tired of the abuse and beatings, his mother managed to escape, taking their sons.
Genie is a clear example of the effects of severe isolation in the development phase. In this case not only prevented the development of complete functions of the left hemisphere of the brain and the formation of social interactions, but body movements were very restricted, in a very poor environment as relates to novel stimuli.
If not sufficiently stimulates a child's mind at a crucial stage in its growth fails to develop a relatively normal intellectual capacity.
The idiot savant syndrome

This syndrome occurs in one in 2000 people with mental disabilities. Its origin may be an illness or brain damage occurred before or after birth. The special talent that characterizes it is usually associated with music, mathematics, drawing, painting or a prodigious memory management.
In an article published in Scientific American, American psychiatrists Darold Treffert and Daniel Christensen have for Kim Peek, a 54 year old man with mental retardation, problems with balance and a stunning memory management. Peek reads at a rate of six pages per minute and has memorized over 9000 books of history, sports, movies, geography, astronautics and classical music, among other topics.
Reading the novel The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy, it took less than an hour and a half. Four months later he was asked the name of the radio operator of the Russian submarine. Peek said the character's name, described his personality and recited verbatim some passages of the book without mistakes. - Here is the introduction of a documentary about his life -
The Guardian interviewed a very peculiar genius autistic. The boy in question is Daniel Tammet, which answers instantly formulas or mathematical problems that are presented, but the most curious of your case, is that it is able to see the numbers like shadows, colors and textures. In fact, the way numbers are represented in your head is very logical: to multiply two numbers you see two shadows instantly appears third shade that corresponds to the answer to the question. Mental images.
Tammet's abilities beyond the super intelligence, as they get closer to extraordinary mental qualities. - The following is a video of Daniel Tammet on The Late Show with David Letterman, is a very funny interview is in English but, excuse me-
So ... What genius lies? Scientists have been unable to answer this question, but me! Hahaha but IMHO is: The genius depends equally genetics and / or environment where the individual develops
