Humans are an advanced form of ape, very
Really? Note this misconception of evolutionary theory - that it is linear. Schoolboy error. Homo sapiens diverged from apes - we both adapted successfully to the environment. We are not an advanced form of ape. Dutton shows lazy assumptions and clearly doesn't know his subject. This is a basic misconception concerning evolution that a first-year student would understand.

Physiognomy works with lions (West & Packer, 2002). It would be extraordinary
This demonstrates a well-known problem with physiognomy as if tends to borrow from other disciplines- he's lumping natural selection in as a type of physiognomy - not to mention anthropomorphising a lion. Unbelievable ignorance and puerile logic in this writing.
intelligence and reaction times
Motor skills indicate intelligence ?! This has been debunked but Dutton state it as if fact.....there are many problems with this statement. It is known that deep learning takes time.
