Are IQs at risk or increasing?
I agree with the first guy to reply. But though I would add this also. You should also consider this. Yes people on average are growing smarter because we are growing as humans in our technology and and so on. But are we growing smarter in ratio to the knowledge out there. Example: Most people have better understanding of electricity now then we did 60 years ago. But 60 years ago most people on average did more electrical work then now. So then they knew less about electrical wiring but most people knew how to do basic wiring in their homes and so on. Now we know so much more about electrical wiring and so on but less people know how to do basic wiring. So yes people are growing on average with more knowledge but therefor higher iqs but most people dont know how to do what most people knew back then if that mnakes sense.
