A book that challenges common misconceptions about the nature of
intelligence
Satoshi Kanazawa's "Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters"
(written with Alan S. Miller) was hailed by the "Los Angeles Times"
as ""a rollicking bit of pop science that turns the lens of
evolutionary psychology on issues of the day."" That book answered
such burning questions as why women tend to lust after males who
already have mates and why newborns look more like Dad than Mom.
Now Kanazawa tackles the nature of intelligence: what it is, what
it does, what it is good for (if anything). Highly entertaining,
smart (dare we say intelligent?), and daringly contrarian, "The
Intelligence Paradox" will provide a deeper understanding of what
intelligence is, and what it means for us in our lives.Asks why
more intelligent individuals are not better (and are, in fact,
often worse) than less intelligent individuals in solving some of
the most important problems in life--such as finding a mate,
raising children, and making friends Discusses why liberals are
more intelligent than conservatives, why atheists are more
intelligent than the religious, why more intelligent men value
monogamy, why night owls are more intelligent than morning larks,
and why homosexuals are more intelligent than heterosexuals
Explores how the purpose for which general intelligence
evolved--solving evolutionarily novel problems--allows us to
explain why intelligent people have the particular values and
preferences they have
Challenging common misconceptions about the nature of
intelligence, this book offers surprising insights into the
cutting-edge of science at the intersection of evolutionary
psychology and intelligence research.
