Kanazawa is no stranger to controversy, having previously recommended an Ann Coulter presidency to wipe out the Middle East with nuclear weapons

Kanazawa has co-written three books with Alan Miller:
"Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters: From Dating, Shopping, and Praying to Going to War and Becoming a Billionaire—Two Evolutionary Psychologists Explain Why We Do What We Do",

Why Men Gamble and Women Buy Shoes: How Evolution Shaped the Way We Behave

and Order by Accident: The Origins and Consequences of Conformity in Contemporary Japan.

My own research of uncertain methodology indicates that neither Aissa Maiga or Gabrielle Union would go out on a date with Satoshi Kanazawa, apparently leading to this outburst of petty weirdness.

Although evolutionary psychology might have have useful insights on human behaviour, over all I believe it to be a crock of shit. Humans are just too complex to be reduced to simple biological drives.

And beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I'm not sure Satoshi Kanazawa can be considered a scientist if he actually believes, as he states, that one arbitrary set of people is "objectively less physically attractive" than another.

There are comic books that have more insight into the human spirit than Psychology Today.

re: #5 Romantic Heretic

Not to mention the fact that most evolutionary psychologists rely on modern social forms when they look at pre-historical competitiveness. I'm convinced that evo psych is mostly just masturbatory self promotion.
