Yep, humans have a store of 15,000 nuclear war heads ready to obliterate us all. That's down from about 27,000 just a few years ago but still enough to kill every human many times over.

As the numbers of humans continues without natural selection, there is a default selection process happening. Our species is dumbing down as more people who would not make it to breeding status in a natural process are flooding the world with their inferior spawn.

Their numbers, always greater than those who would be naturally selected, are swamping all societies, especially those in the West. The movie Soylent Green is proving to be prophetic about the modern human species.

That is, at best, conjecture with little evidence for or against. It could be. But it's more likely it's been going like this for centuries, the high and the low filtering themselves out. There doesn't seem to be much selection for weeding out the lower middle of intelligence. There is little evidence either way again. There is also little evidence that higher intelligence percentile is a better adaption. If the top had filtered itself out already we may not have 15000 nukes. All of it is an open question that won't be answered till long after we are gone

There is a good journal article that postulates, with some evidence, that individual humans were smarter and more capable ten thousand years ago when you had to be much more independent and the selection for all abilities was much stronger. I shall try to find.
