I’m balding and have excessive body hair. My standard response to comments about either of these physical features is “Too much Testosterone.”

Thanks to the study highlighted by Dr. Michelle Tempest, I can justifiably add “Too much brains” to the response

All that I need more than this is for someone to find out that intelligence is related to obesity and lack of exercise.

Apart from the more obvious questions like ‘What about intelligent / hairy women?,’ which were already asked in the comments section on Michelle’s post. I got curious about how someone could seriously spend 22 years studying the relationship between body hair and intelligence.

So I did some Googling (or would it qualify as ‘WILFing‘) and was surprised.

Though there have been multiple posts on blogs in the past few days commenting on this particular study, it isn’t that recent.

This journal article search site says that the good doctor with the improbably wacky name of Aikarakudy Alias, presented his paper in the 8th Congress of the Association of European Psychiatrists held in London in 1996 (read the entire article here).

And I still haven’t been able to find his original article.

I’m really curious about where it was originally published. Any help will be appreciated and will be rewarded with my secret recipe for maintaining a luxurious growth on the chest and back
