I found the interview pretty disappointing. As much as evolutionary psychology can be fascinating, its claims have to be supported by some data or at least some seriously sharp reasoning to be worthy of anyone's time. That famous Carl Sagan quote on extraordinary claims fits really well here. His basic argument seems to be that intelligent people are always contrarians, which to me seems downright false. Smart people just have a tendency to be more skeptical, really. I guess framing things this way would not be as inflammatory, however, and thus not sell as many books or get The Economist to offer the dude a piece of its precious real estate. Finally: More intelligent boys (but not more intelligent girls) are more likely to grow up to value sexual exclusivity. = I would love to see what kind of data (if any) he is using to back this up. Sounds really fishy to me.
