And not all who are previously considered "fit" (having the potential for having more offsprings than others) are really procreating. In fact, a lot of procreation happens with people who don't bother using birth control. It's very hard to predict in what direction natural selection is selecting, and what the future humans will look like. Also nowadays, brain quality isn't a requirement to procreation, because the big brains create solutions that are then available to everyone. And modern medicine can keep a lot of people alive, despite their predisposition to disease.
But yea interesting article.
You would think so, but apparently not.
