- Why Liberals and Atheists Are More Intelligent (2010, unknown): “Three recent studies, employing widely varied methods, have shown that the average intelligence of a population appears to be a strong function of the evolutionary novelty of its environment (Ash and Gallup 2007; Bailey and Geary 2009; Kanazawa 2008).”
- Hominid Brain Evolution (2009, unknown): “Temperature and temperature variability are common indicators of climatic pressures (Ash and Gallup 2007; Kanazawa 2008 ), and parasites represent one key ecological pressure (Low 1990).”

His theory is that higher intelligence evolved in environments that were novel and these were more distant from the evolutionary environment close to the equator in sub-Saharan Africa in which hu”
