Unless there are other compensating factors, like dumb people having higher mortality rates?
- riffraff 12y agothe movie posits the dumb people reproduce faster because they start sooner (i.e. football guy gets cheerleader pregnant when 16, smart girl waits to have a career before getting pregnant) and since getting to reproductive maturity doesn't need special skills it still works out in favor of dumb people (i.e. by the time smart couple has 1 kid dumb couple has >=1 and their descendents have >=1).
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoAge of reproduction unrelated to smarts. More like hormones.
- nbouscal 12y agoMore like socioeconomic status. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/FB-Unintended-Pregnancy-US.html http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/FB-Unintended-Pregnancy-US.ht...
