What are the Evolutionary explanations for Dumb people?

[the_bob_delusion]

Why are there so many idiotic people around? What evolutionary advantage do they bring out?

All of the above of course icyfroth! I'd add the food we eat. It's already known that some GM food causes problems with our immune system and has been linked to infertility in some women. There are a range of other health problems too. Now combine that with the chemicals and additives we have in the food, aspartame, anti-caking agents etc., and it's no wonder we're seeing this.

Well, unlike some of the others here, she does have a deeper knowledge of things relationg to heath and well-being. I don't agree with her stance on a couple of issues but I've learnt about a thing or two by seeing wjhat she has posted.  And with health issues she is a few steps ahead of the others.

Interesting to see this old thread resurface, thanks 4chan!

"Australian students have recorded their worst results in international tests, failing for the first time to exceed the OECD average in maths while also tumbling down global rankings in reading and science.

The results were particularly bad for NSW, which recorded the country's biggest drop in both reading and science over the period since Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) tests began in the early 2000s. The state also recorded significant declines in mathematics.

Since 2003, Australia's results in maths have declined further than any country but Finland. Compared with the top-performer, Singapore, the students who sat the test last year were three years behind in maths, a year and three months behind in reading, and a year and nine months behind in scientific literacy."

This article actually doesn't actually pose the question as to why our children are being progessively dumbed down.

Public school curriculums might be another answer.

Which relates to evolution, how?

Sorry to bring up the initial question, very dumb of me.

I have it on very good information that 4chan doesn't like being compared to the ex-conspiracy website and insists on being addressed as 4channel. That COULD be a personal prejudice. We'll have to wait and see if you are upbraided.

My post was in relation to dumbing down kids by our school curriculums.
