Thinking About Human Evolution
All speculation aside, there is something known as the the Flynn effect, which is the rise of IQ test scores each year. On average IQs are going up 3 points per decade.

That might be an environmental effect. Nature versus nurture, you know. Which one is driving the IQ points up? We don't know.
Maybe really stupid people just don't get laid. Maybe educational and parenting techniques are getting better. Maybe both.

Thinking About Human Evolution
I for one am very wary about the prospects of combining machine and man. Sounds like the first step towards the replacement of the latter by the former. Maybe it's inevitable, but I hope not. I like humans.

You should read it all.

I wish I could take all the time to read that, but I'm having trouble just keeping up with the necessary readings for my classes. And my recreational reading list is building up as I haven't had any time to get to that either. *sigh* So much information, and only one lifetime to absorb it.
