Besotted with each passing generation
The biologist Gerald Greybtriy from Stanford University in California says that people are becoming more stupid.
When people lived and survived in groups in the wild, their intelligence and emotional abilities have evolved constantly. People who have not used their brains are simply not survive.
As soon, however, have gone to a more sedentary lifestyle, dealing with agriculture and animal husbandry in larger communities, things have deteriorated. Here weaker individuals were supported by a strong and a person's ability to prevent diseases become more important than intelligence.
According to the American biologist humanity is losing their intelligence over the past 120 generations - about 3000 years.
Moreover - if front of us end up average citizen of Athens since 1000 BC. BC., He will be among the smartest people present said Greybtriy. He will have a better memory, more ideas and a clearer insight into important issues.
