Some scientists speculate that the same geic factors that e homosexualy one genr also duce hyperfertily the other, a theory lled sexually antagonistic selectn. When he’s not havg his blog ncelled for sayg black women are unattractive, he’s argug that some natns jt aren’t smart enough to be which, his latt work, sayg that gay people are smarter on average, is probably his most polilly rrect paper years, strange as that may three large populatn surveys (USA’s AddHealth and GSS, UK’s NCDS), Kanazawa found a small posive rrelatn between timated IQ and self-reported homosexual behavur or I’m not sure what to make of this.
