Liberalism, atheism, male sexual exclusivity linked to IQ

I've always thought that this is a fact, but of course, with neither scientific proof nor legitimacy, nobody would have believed me anyway.

"Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs. This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The findings will be published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly."

This is the best bit of the report:

"None of this means that the human species is evolving toward a future where these traits are the default, Kanazawa said.

"More intelligent people don't have more children, so moving away from the trajectory is not going to happen," he said."

Damn... I wanna read the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly. This is controversial stuff. It redefines the rhythm and direction of human evolution. Implications abound!!

I hope nothing bad happens to the author because there are more conservatives than liberals out there. They would not be happy with these findings.
