Humanity is rapidly growing dull, and it is not a poetic metaphor, but a scientific fact. We lose the ability to think, because this is not required for survival.

To the intellect of man is required for optimal operation of a large number of genes, which in turn has experienced Grand evolutionary process. But now, scientists from Stanford University made several provocative theory which States that humanity loses its emotional and intellectual abilities because of the tendency to mutations complex chain genes provide our brain power.

And these mutations do not contradict the development of modern society. On the contrary, we toupees only due to the fact that life is becoming easier. The person no longer needs the brain in order to survive. It does not need to invent something extraordinary to get a piece of bread. Everything has been decided for him, and the person needs to do some monosyllabic job getting the nutrition, health, housing and other amenities of civilization.

Should I be concerned about the fact that the process of dullness will make us mentally retarded sooner or later? Scientists believe that by the time the technology is developing so powerfully that humanity will find a way to turn off the main mechanism of evolution - natural selection.

"The development of intellectual abilities and optimization of thousands of genes intelligence, probably, was carried out at relatively uncommunicative, dispersed groups of people before our ancestors came to the continent of Africa, says the author of opening the doctor Gerald Grantri. In those conditions the intelligence was vital for survival, and people were forced to work the genes responsible for intellectual development, which led to the peak achievements of the human mind. Now is the reverse process".
