I haven't read Psychology Today for a long time. But I caught this item in a waiting room, and it is now posted on Arts and Letters Daily, my second favorite website. Here are the ten truths:
Men like blond bombshells (and women want to look like them)
Humans are naturally polygamous
Most women benefit from polygyny, while most men benefit from monogamy
Most suicide bombers are Muslim
Having sons reduces the likelihood of divorce
Beautiful people have more daughters
What Bill Gates and Paul McCartney have in common with criminals
The midlife crisis is a myth—sort of
It's natural for politicians to risk everything for an affair (but only if they're male)
Men sexually harass women because they are not sexist
These "truths" are culled from a recent book: Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters, by Alan S. Miller and Satoshi Kanazawa. They are the results of recent work on evolutionary psychology (or sociobiology). The article is worth a look.
