I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I'll give it a try.

I've been reading about sexual selection and how it can lead to the evolution of traits that are not directly related to survival or reproduction. One example given is the peacock's tail, which is thought to have evolved as a result of sexual selection.

I was wondering if there are any examples of sexual selection affecting cognitive abilities, such as intelligence or problem-solving skills. It seems like this could be a possible explanation for why some traits, such as intelligence, seem to be more common in certain groups or populations.

Any thoughts or examples would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I’m not sure if this is a good example, but I’ll give it a shot.

In the 1970s, a group of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, conducted a study on the effects of sexual selection on cognitive abilities. They found that males who were more attractive to females were also more likely to be successful in their careers.

This is an interesting finding, but it’s not clear whether this is due to sexual selection or some other factor. It could be that males who are more attractive to females are also more likely to be successful in their careers because they are more likely to be successful in their careers.
