Humans may be growing dumber, says study oblivious to the Kardashians

Scientists are trying to claim that humans are becoming less intelligent -- but they obviously haven’t read the news recently. The study, published in the journal "Trends in Genetics," purports that the evolutionary pressure to be smart began disappearing several thousand years ago because we began living in denser agricultural settlements and didn't need smarts to survive anymore. Okay, nice theory, but have these "scientists" looked around recently? I mean, what about overly tan mom? 911-calling drug dealer? Guy with Romney face tattoo? If those examples aren't enough to convince them of our generation's current intellectual prowess, then there are only two words left to say: Kim Kardashian. [Source]
