Are we getting mre stupid? Accrding t Genld Crabtree, a scientist at Standrd University in the US, we are.
Yu may nt want t hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak mre than 2000 years ag and ever since then has been ging dwnhill. “If an average Greek frm 1,000 BC were transprted t mdem times, he r she wuld be ne f the brightest amng us," Crabtree tld The Guardian.
At the heart f Crabree's thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence is critical fr survival when ur ancestrs had t avid dangerus animals and hunt fr fd. The difference f being smart r stupid is ften life r death. Hwever, after the spread f agriculture, when ur ancestrs began t live in dense farming cmmunities. the

These mutains (变异) are harmful t ur intelligence and they were all develped in the past 3.000 yean. The ther evidence that Crabtree hlds is in ur genes. He fund that amng the 20000 t 50000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are tw r mre mutatins in each f us.
Hwever, Crabtree's thery has been criticized by sme wh say that early humans may have better hunting
and surviving abilities but peple tday have develped a mre diverse intelligence. Fr example, paring (用矛
刺)a tiger desn't necessarily require mre brainpwer than playing chess r writing a pem. Mrever, the pwer
f mdern educatin means a lt mre peple have the pprtunity t learn nwadays.
"Yu wuldn't get Stephen Hawking 2, 00 years ag. He just wuldn’t exit." Thmas Hills f the University f Warwick. UK, tld Live Science "But nw we have peple f his intellectual capability ding things and making
Insights(洞察力) that we wuld never have achieved in ur envirnment f evlutinary adaptatin.(进化适应)”

C. Mutatins in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the develpment f intelligence.

Are we getting mre stupid? Accrding t Genld Crabtree, a scientist at Standrd University in the US, we are.
Yu may nt want t hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak mre than 2000 years ag and ever since then has been ging dwnhill. “If an average Greek frm 1,000 BC were transprted t mdem times, he r she wuld be ne f the brightest amng us," Crabtree tld The Guardian.
At the heart f Crabree's thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence is critical fr survival when ur ancestrs had t avid dangerus animals and hunt fr fd. The difference f being smart r stupid is ften life r death. Hwever, after the spread f agriculture, when ur ancestrs began t live in dense farming cmmunities. the

This is nt hard t understand. Mst f the time, pressure is what keeps us ging-yu need the pressure frm yur teachers t finish yur hmewrk; the pressure f lking pretty encurages yu t lse weight when summer cmes. And the same is als true f ur intelligence -if we think less, we becme less smart
These mutains (变异) are harmful t ur intelligence and they were all develped in the past 3.000 yean. The ther evidence that Crabtree hlds is in ur genes. He fund that amng the 20000 t 50000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are tw r mre mutatins in each f us.

and surviving abilities but peple tday have develped a mre diverse intelligence. Fr example, paring (用矛
刺)a tiger desn't necessarily require mre brainpwer than playing chess r writing a pem. Mrever, the pwer
f mdern educatin means a lt mre peple have the pprtunity t learn nwadays.

Insights(洞察力) that we wuld never have achieved in ur envirnment f evlutinary adaptatin.(进化适应)”

C. Mutatins in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the develpment f intelligence.
