Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa is an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics. His research uses evolutionary psychology to analyze social sciences such as sociology, economics, and anthropology. [1] In 2003, in an article in the Journal of Research in Personality, he showed that scientists generally made their biggest discovery before their mid-30s, and compared this productivity curve to that of criminals. [2] In 2006 he published an article in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, claiming that attractive people have a 36% greater chance of having female children than male children. [3]

Professor Kanazawa has also co-written two books with Alan Miller: "Why Men Gamble and Women Buy Shoes: How Evolution Shaped the Way We Behave"; "Order by Accident: The Origins and Consequences of Conformity in Contemporary Japan".
