Abstract:The IQ/T-Geo-Climatic Origin (GCO) theory admits that primordial northbound migration out of Africa increasingly demanded higher IQ and decreased aggression as temperatures sank. To organisms with a fixed intra-systemic energy budget, this meant that small-brained – High T (Lo-IQ/Hi-T)” masculine aggressive A5 males became too “expensive” in cold eco-niches, and were replaced by Low Testosterone androgyne A1 (Hi-IQ/Lo-T) light-weight males with sufficient energy for developing the large energy-greedy brain needed for survival during cold winters. The physiological re-balancing of T-Nexus and IQ-Nexus traits probably occurred during migration over the past 40,000 years.
