Professor Gerald Crabtree from Stanford University published a study noting that, as a result of organised civilisation, humans as a whole are gradually becoming less intelligent--an article on the study from The Telegraph stated:
Harmful mutations in our genes which reduce our "higher thinking" ability are therefore passed on through generations and allowed to accumulate, leading to a gradual dwindling of our intelligence as a species.What are your thoughts? Watch the video, read the articles linked down below and weigh-in.

This is an interesting piece. I feel pretty inclined to do what they asked me to do. Who is the smartest person I know? I'd say it is...Michael Gundlach, one of my former missionary companions. He was one point short of a perfect ACT score. The dumbest person I know...I don't think it's really relevant. Essentially, I find it to be very intriguing but I don't really trust the nature of the way the information is presented by commentators.
