Big, Tall, Violent Engineers tend to have Sons, Beautiful People have Daughters!

This article's quite funny – says that good-looking parents are 36% more likely to give birth to a girl than less-attractive couples according to evolutionary psychologist, Satoshi Kanazawa.

His previous research also showed that big & tall parents, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and violent men tend to have sons!

Few conclusions can be made from this:

- Scientists, engineers, mathematicians, big & tall men and violent men are unattractive
- Chinese moms should pressure their sons to get ugly wives to have a grandson or encourage them to be engineers, scientists, mathematicians or violent men.
- I should be an engineer & be more violent…need to be taller as well =P

On another note, read his other article titled "Asians Aren't Capable Of Creative Thought":

Miller is correct to point out that East Asians have slightly higher mean IQs than Europeans (Lynn and Vanhanen, 2002). However, East Asians have not been able to make creative use of their intelligence. While they are very good at absorbing existing knowledge via rote memory (hence their high standardized test scores in math and science) or adapt or modify existing technology (hence their engineering achievements), they have not been able to make original contributions to basic science.

and Miller's counterpoint.
