Edward Dutton (anthropologist)

Edward "Ed" Dutton (born 30 October 1980 in London, England) is an English anthropologist who teaches at the University of Oulu in Finland as a docent, or adjunct professor.[1][2][3] He is known for his work on human intelligence, such as a study he co-authored with Richard Lynn concluding that physical scientists are more intelligent than social scientists.[4][5] He has also studied the average IQ in Finland, and the apparent discrepancy between Finland's high average IQ and its relative lack of Nobel Prize-winning scientists.[6][7]

Personal life

Dutton is distantly related to Sir Piers Dutton, about whom he wrote a biographical book entitled The Ruler of Cheshire: Sir Piers Dutton, Tudor Gangland and the Violent Politics of the Palatine.[2] A British citizen, he is married to a Finnish woman, with whom he has two children.[1]
