Hope not. I don't think we can afford to get any dumber.
Interesting article--thanks.

"...the brain are odd thing..." mentioned the mention noting that much of it is unused, and that certain areas become very specialized where intelligence is only one aspect here, and where it's more likely it's those areas that interpret senses that have diminished here, continuing "...primitive man probably needed to interpret those senses to survive, where for example modern man doesn't need to know where a perticular sound is coming from, nor what that smell interprets to, any more than he needs some perfect balance in climbing, nor to react in phobia towards certain dangers, meaning that a decline in the size is probably those parts then, whereas modern man might just be more specialized in processing general information now, like reading this post, using the remote control on the television, and knowing which washiing powder cleans whiter then..."

Ok if I understand this correctly then Douglas Adams was right, Mice with their tiny brains are infact highly intelligent pandimensional beings.
