ROFL
anyway I don't see how they can make blanket statements about people like that.
and just becuase you can find a good story to explain why people have come to have certain common traits, if they really do have them, doesn't mean that that is really the cause. and if certain traits did evolve for certain reason it doesn't mean that the'll express the way you would expect them to given the cause.

hmmmmmmmmmm....... I think that certainly depends on what they define as a "benefit".

Hi you!
Handy Kallie to the rescue.:) When I noticed that the results were as a result of a Psych study it all made sense. The discipline of psychology examines human behaviour, so that is the angle that is pursued. Here is the answer you seek (taken from a Psychology Today article):
Paul McCartney has not written a hit song in years, and now spends much of his time painting. Bill Gates is now a respectable businessman and philanthropist, and is no longer a computer whiz kid. J.D. Salinger now lives as a total recluse and has not published anything in more than three decades. Orson Welles was a mere 26 when he wrote, produced, directed, and starred in Citizen Kane.
A single theory can explain the productivity of both creative geniuses and criminals over the life course: Both crime and genius are expressions of young men's competitive desires, whose ultimate function in the ancestral environment would have been to increase reproductive success.
