Atheism, Liberals, Monogamists…oh my!

So, it appears that a study has been performed by Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science, that states that “statistically significantly more likely to exhibit social values and religious and political preferences that are novel to the human species in evolutionary history”. Basically, people who veer away from evolutionary/social norms is more likely to be a more intelligent person.

People who always fall back on God as an answer to everything will not seek out an answer to the problem. Kanazawa stated that “humans are evolutionarily designed to be paranoid, and they believe in God because they are paranoid.” Teenagers ratioed 103/97 in IQ scores for no God/God believers.

Past social norms was to worry about one’s self and family first, but a lot more people now have been leaning towards helping others. The latter has shown to have a higher ratio of IQ scores as well…106/95 to be exact.

And men used to have multiple mates, although women generally kept the same mate. So, men who now keep just one mate have shown higher intellect.

So, according to this report, if you are a monogamous, liberal, atheist male, you should be brilliant! Well, I guess I’m getting there…
