Typical chump belief, that we must be so much smarter than our ancestors, because of course, right?

TBF, easy to see why low-testosterone Roon might believe this, as when looking across the averages of different races, indeed so often: lower testosterone = higher IQ.

And indeed testosterone has been dropping like a rock for mankind for hundreds of thousands of years, and really dropping like a rock recently.

So that means mankind must have been getting higher in IQ over all these generations, because lower test = smarter, and Roon is right, right?

Not so fast.

Enter Self-domestication & Domestication Syndrome.

Here we see the exact opposite effect — higher testosterone = higher IQ, lower testosterone = lower IQ, and the causal effect here is far more clear, far less confounded than the cross-race situation.

Do the greatest high-IQ thinkers of all time look like low-testosterone wimps to you?

Aristotle, Socrates, Plato. Bro, all of the greats of the ancient world.

Mankind been dropping both in testosterone and IQ for thousands of years.

End the self-domestication retardation apocalypse.

Bring back the high-IQ high-testosterone gigachads.
