were people 700 years ago way smarter than today?

Humans as a race isn't devolving. It's the inherent stupidity of mankind that has caught up with us. So in a way, stupidity is evolving while mankind is standing still evolutionary speaking.

And banning raaaid? Well, I do have my disagreements with him (especially over the F16-stick thing), but all in all he's fairly harmless. Just don't take his posts seriously, and view them as a glimpse into an if not twisted mind, then a badly sprained one

The human species gets a little dumber every time someone reads one of raaaaaaid's posts.

I would be willing to to bet raaaids actual IQ is higher than a lot of people who post at this forum.

raaaids posts are a little off the wall sometimes, but i find most of them entertaining and interesting.
Would i want to be stuck in a lift for 24 hours with him?...well...i dont know about that...but i bet he would come up with some ideas of how to get us out, and some of them might not kill us.

You carry on raaaid!

And no people are not any less smart now than 700 years ago, in fact people 10,000 years ago were just as smart as us.

Intellegence and wisdom are too very different things.
