In short: women with a small waist:hip ratio (~0.7 or smaller) show significantly greater cognitive ability. Their children also have greater cognitive ability.

So there ya go. I'm not checking out your ass; I'm admiring your intellect.

    Dunno, this looks like evo psych BS to me. Also totally mad because I am a slim hipped woman who is pretty smart.

    Evo psych is proof that science can be just as absurd and irrelevent as religion.

    Your ratio could still be fine! It's all about ratio.

    The mechanism makes sense, and it's demonstrable. Really, the most important piece of information is that omega-3 is great for child development.

    Only when it isn't actually science.

    Evopsych tends to be very bad science. It's very hard to account for complicating factors, particularly social factors, and so their results are more like wishful thinking than solid information.

    All the different forms of psychology need to be integrated in a case study of something as broad as intelligence in order to gain an accurate picture, and even then you'll be missing most of the details. Of course, I personally consider psych the poor man's neurobio/biopsych anyway, but I carry a pretty hefty bias. It's all gossip without fMRI, PET, and hard science labwork.

    Thank you, that is nice of you! Also, it is nice to have small hips for runnin' fast.

    I'm normal size. I'm actually average tall, I just have an athletic build: Skinny, muscles, flat bust on a big rib cage, small hips. It suits me just fine!
