So does it take a Uni degree to raise horses, Dom?
No idea - others in the family do.
I must have have missed this thread, good bump 
Interesting topic
I don't think our species has changed much at all, In primal days kids were taught how to survive from their parents or thier tribal group because it had to be learned
if the kid found themselves lost without any training their chance or survival are slim, does that make them dumb? no because we all have the ability to "learn"

The dumb, however, would have not had the ability to learn, thus making them dead. Darwin is proven right.
As opposed to the current situation where they are nurtured, rather than killed off by their inability to learn.

OK some folks are born mentally challenged, we can push this group aside here
And discauss perfectly healthy humans
I disagree, normal folks who are considered dumb is probably because they were unfortunate not to be put in a position to learn, doesn't mean they're incapable of learning
Is it a society flaw where not all folks get the training or education?
Personally i came from a dysfunctional family, my start in life was left to be desired
But deep down i knew i wasn't dumb (some folks may think otherwise )
It wasn't untill i was forced to do rehab and a meditation camp that I smartened up

Which has nothing to do with the subject.
The subject is why dumb people are still around, which definitely includes the mentally challanged. Thus a group that is front and centre. I can understand you not wanting to include those that the discussion pertains to. After all it makes your position marginally tenable.
Not whether 'dumb' people are considered dumb, by any of many criteria.
Like an IQ of less than 85.
Why do they still happen? Because that's genetics, which modern medicine has generally obviated.
