This is slightly off topic and slightly addressed by someone else, but this thread is going in all sorts of directions... I imagine that the findings you express above might might be a result of restriction of range. You might not see many of those with really low intelligence, success, or beauty in your everday life. (Maybe you do, what do I know?).
You still may be right. I think that there is some evidence that lower IQ populations are outreproducing higher IQ populations in the United States. Higher IQ individuals more often attend college, sometimes grad school, postponing reproduction until their late twenties and early thirties. I'll have to look around for the evidence.

I met a wacky evolutionary biologist from South Africa who believed that women's breasts evolved to be flotation devices.... The Aquatic Ape theory of human evolution...
