Of Mice and Men: Empirical Support for the Population-Based Social Epistasis Amplification Model (a Comment on Kalbassi et al., 2017)
This commentary article offers new perspective on recent research investigating the behavioral and social ecological effects of a mutation related to autism spectrum disorders in mice. The authors explain the consistency of this research on mice with predictions advanced by a theory of the role of mutations in altering interorganismal gene-gene interactions (social epistasis) in social species ...

a r t i c l e i n f o The relationship between IQ and completed fertility among a sample of 3520 Americans from MIDUS II (1960's birth cohorts) is examined using a common factor comprised of eight cognitive ability measures, in order to determine the rate of phenotypic IQ loss due to genetic selection. Negative correlations are present in both the male and female subsamples, and are associated ...

Two dysgenic models of declining general intelligence have been proposed. The first posits that since the Industrial Revolution those with low g have had a reproductive advantage over those with high g. The secondposits that relaxed purifying selection against deleteriousmutations inmodernpopulations has led to g declining due to mutation accumulation. Here, a meta-analytic estimate of the decl...
