You seem to be confused. What do gorillas have to do with this? Are you under the impression fertile females are in to bestiality? Gorillas are perfectly adapted for being gorillas, but they aren't very well adapted to be people. It's not actually my theory- the one about women and fertility and mate selection. It's several scientific studies. I know it's hard when science contradicts our personal theories. But there's not much you can do about that. Your opinion, of course, is probably very precious to you, but it doesn't do a thing for me. If you have any actual evidence, I'll be happy to take a look at it. If all I'm going to get is your opinion, you will bore me. And I think I read people were getting more stupid. Someone doing IQ research claimed human intelligence peaked during the period of the Greeks, and it's been downhill ever since. I found that an interesting claim. It's not my study or claim, but I found it intriguing. The argument made was that humans have had progressively less to "test" them, and to winnow out the weak (both mentally and physically)- and this has weakened our species. independent.co.uk Statistically it's unlikely for intelligence to align with aggression and big jaws. Some of the time it will, but unless they are genetically linked, it's going to be a joint probability function of all the underlying terms.
