If intelligent species use intelligence in the selection of sexual partners then intelligence is an evolutionary pressure along with other natural drivers.
If.
That's a big if eh? Personally I think (human) selection is for creativity and increased brain capacity came along for the ride.
We can test for this by looking at what types of humans are considered most desirable sexual objects:
high IQ, university professors, nobel prize winners, nerds, etc,
OR
rock stars, dancers, movie stars, artists, cool, etc.
Comments?
Enjoy.
