combjelly,

We have an average IQ of 100 because that is what we needed. We didn't need an average IQ of much more than that, so we aren't smarter.

100 is just a normalized middle. It doesn't really have any meaning. Over time, IQ went up (as fewer people suffer malnutrition).

Neoteny doesn't get the credit it should as a driver of evolution. Forget the mutations, they help over the long term, but neoteny carries the heavy loads.

Interesting subject.

Joe
