Hey everyone,
I is most evident sometimes that we are no smarter than our ancient ancestors were, we only have more advanced technology. As far as evolution and stasis, I think we are in stasis now. The computer revolution has succeeded in "dumbing down america" so to speak. Example, people who literally can't do basic math in their heads because of the use of calculators. People who don't understand street designators because they either rely on farmer John directions or Map Quest.
I am not saying in the least that I don't see a great deal of very intelligent people in our world, I am only saying that there is no neccesity at present that would produce any evolutionary change towards a bigger brain but quite possibly the opposite.
