Sexual Selection IQ
... There is genomic evidence lending support to the idea that intelligence is a sexually selected trait. Fisher (1931) proposed that genes having differential fitness effects on males and females should be found on the sex chromosomes. Hurst (2001) proposed that, relative to autosomal loci, a X-linked ...
