Evolutionary psychology is a theoretical approach in psychology that examines cognition and behavior from a modern evolutionary perspective. It seeks to identify human psychological adaptations with regards to the ancestral problems they evolved to solve. In deep conversation with Rahul Dewan, Edward Dutton evaluates Islam from the perspective of evolutionary psychology and the factors affecting a person's Intelligence Quotient, a number used to express the relative intelligence of a person. According to him the ethnocentric societies, by making sure their kids are not highly imtelligent, make them highly instinctive. Low intelligence corresponds to having more children. Overtly religious education and lack of scientific knowledge in turn makes them less adaptive and depend on Will of God.
