Sure as hell seems to be the case that in the last 20 people have gotten fucking stupid. Dunno about 20,000.

They found that when population density was low, such as during the majority of our evolution, the cranium increased in size. But when a certain area's population changed from sparse to dense, our cranium size decreased. They concluded that as increasingly complex societies emerged, the brain grew smaller because people didn't have to be as smart to stay alive.

As far as theories go, this one makes most sense to me: socialism => dumbing down.

as increasingly complex societies emerged,

What's wrong with these cities? And why pick precisely those, out of zillions? I smell a rat.
