PCB, I'm not dissing the intellectual prowess of Mr. Selleck (I love Magnum PI) or the Hoff. It's just that they are two very hairy specimens and I wondered if they were among the MOST intelligent men in the world.
Well - what if it's actually something that's a byproduct? What I mean is - what if the more intelligent people are actually hairier because the less intelligent people end up working more physical labour or have somehow harder lives, therein rubbing away hair or stress leading to body hair loss or lack of development? Instead of a hairy chest being a predicter of intelligence, could lack of intelligence be a cause for hair loss?
MCJ, interesting theory about lack of intelligence causing hair loss. Maybe that could be a follow up study for these researchers.
Dear God, do I have to dish out lessons in causality again!!!
The study merely highlights a correlation between hairiness and intelligence, it doesn't actual prove a causal link between the two.
(Hold me down before I get cross! :-)

I didn't notice dependence on hairy chest and high intelligence, but i noticed that if a man bald, then his chest is hairy and opposite.
