Criminals and Scientists Peak at Age 30 Because of Women

This story has been out for a while but I want to point it out again. It's about how scientists and criminals peak at the age of 30 because of marriage. The researcher says so beautifully:

Both crime and genius are manifestations of young men's competitive desires to gain access to women's reproductive resources," he concludes.

Translation: scientists and criminals work because they want to get the groove thang on. More details here.
