Age of Stupidity dawns as clever parents have fewer children
In 1936 the eminent British psychologist Raymond Cattell did some sums and concluded that the human race should be evolving to become more imbecilic with each generation.
He quickly realised that he could not have been more wrong, and for 80 years study after study has shown that we are, if anything, getting brighter by the decade. Now, though, a group of scientists has claimed that Cattell’s gloomy forecast may be about to come true after all: humanity could finally be on the brink of the Age of Stupidity.
As clever people have fewer and fewer children, our collective “genetic pool” is getting weaker ..
