(LiveScience.com) Humans may be gradually losing intelligence, according to a new study.
The study, published (Nov. 12) in the journal Trends in Genetics, argues that humans lost the evolutionary pressure to be smart once we started living in dense agricultural settlements several thousand years ago. "The development of our intellectual abilities and the optimization of thousands of intelligence genes probably occurred in relatively non-verbal, dispersed groups of peoples [living] before our ancestors emerged from Africa," said study author Gerald Crabtree, a researcher at Stanford University, in a statement. http://www.kmjnow.com/pages/landing?Study-Humans-Getting-Dumber=1&blockID=646419&feedID=806 Impeach Obama for the Good of the Children.
