Abstract
In a recent paper, Kanazawa and Kovar (2004) assert that given certain empirical regularities about assortative mating and the heritability of intelligence and beauty, that it logically follows that
more intelligent people are more beautiful. It is argued here that this “theorem” is false and that the evidence does not support it.
