I thought the biodeterminists guide was one of the most useful things I've ever read. I'd love it if Yvain would write the same for longevity, general fitness, IQ, etc.
I asked for a good general guide to IQ (and in particular its objectivity and importance) on the LW FB group a while back. I got a bunch of answers, including these standouts:

http://www.newscientist.com/data/doc/article/dn19554/instant_expert_13_-_intelligence.pdf
But there's still plenty of room for improvement on those so I'd be curious to hear others' suggestions.
On IQ, I strongly recommend Ian Deary's Intelligence: A Short Introduction (link to shared file in my Google Drive).
And a friend requests an article comparing IQ and conscientiousness as a predictor for different things.
