Series of illustrations for Scientific American Magazine for a fascinating article about intelligence and lifespan. Patti Nemoto, AD.

The lower your intelligence, the more altercations you are likely to have. Higher intelligence people have an average of zero altercations per lifetime. The concept was inspired by the “Goofus and Gallant” cartoons from Highlight Magazine.
