Genetic Polygamy
Development and Validation of an 18-Item Medium Form of the Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices
The Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) is a widely used measure of general intelligence ( g), both across settings and cultures. Due to its lengthy 40-min administration time, several researchers have developed short-form scales, yet these forms typically yield a significantly lower reliability. This article describes the creation of an 18-item short form (APM-18) and its validation in three samples of Southwestern U.S. university student…
A Life-History Model of Human Fitness Indicators
Recent adaptationist accounts of human mental and physical health have reinvigorated the debate over the evolution of human intelligence. In the tradition of strong inference the current study was developed to determine whether either Miller's (1998, 2000a) Fitness Indicator Theory or Rushton's (1985, 2000) Differential-K Theory better accounts for general intelligence ("g") in an undergraduate university population (N=192). Owing to the lengthy …
Chimpanzee facial symmetry
This paper reports a study of fitness indicator theory in chimpanzees. First, it establishes a theoretical perspective for the study of fitness indicator theory and the relationships among indicators of fitness in humans and other animals. Second, it describes a methodology for assessing facial fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in a sample ( N = 21) of zoo chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ). Third, associations among chimpanzee facial FA and health are des…
