OT To add to your thoughtful post:
One might also consider the discontinuous innovation of language. Hence network effects and CDMA. And you and me.
For more on the decreasing intelligence of mankind, see Jared Diamond's book Guns, Germs and Steel. In the introduction he makes the argument that modern man is evolving to a less intelligent state because we are no longer dependent upon our own wits to survive in a hostile environment. In our civilized society, our survival is dependent upon the collective herd.An individual's attributes are less critical.
