Objectively we’ve only become smarter (IQs have increased), stronger (fitness records continue to be broken), etc. since infant mortality shrank. If you believe otherwise please provide evidence.

- amanaplanacanal 3mo agoHow would you measure it?
- qsera 3mo agoI would not use individual IQs. Instead I would look at how smart/dumb the general population behaves.
