Men with high intelligence are less likely to cheat

Men with high intellectual level more monogamous and not inclined to adultery. This surprising fact has established a scientific team from the famous London School of Economics and Political science. Rezultaty study published in the journal "Social Psychology". This information agencies reported, citing the London media.

Team leader Professor Satoshi Kanazawa, analyzed data from two large-scale surveys, investigating the relationship between the level of IQ and social behaviors. Empirical scientist has concluded - smarter than men, the more they tend to be faithful to his beloved.

According to Kanazawa, the reason for this line of intellectuals lies in the evolutionary development. Monogamy is largely a recent phenomenon in human development and is an "evolutionary novelty". In the process of formation of a polygamous man allowed to maintain genetic features of Homo sapiens. However, in modern civilization, the need has disappeared.

However, not all men are able to abandon the heritage of previous centuries "and enter a new phase of evolution, says Kanazawa.

With regard to women, their loyalty or disloyalty is not determined by the intellectual level. "No evidence or indication that a more intelligent woman is both more faithful to my wife, we have not been found."
