Smartness may or may not prove to be an evolutionary advantage, I would think it is. Smartness is a result of evolutionary pressures, IMO. ie: our ancestors had to adapt and problem solve to survive and meet new challenges as they moved out of Africa. I have seen some argue that an ice age and the pressures to survive in the new climate, as well as the different cold climates further north from Africa as early humans spread out, is the cause of our intelligence and evolution into what we are now. I also think our broad and general societal IQ is falling due to a lack of evolutionary pressures that lead to death. Summit and Teresa 2 No electron left behind. Link to comment

You could have either or neither. But the donkey reference reminded me of an Einstein quote "Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig." My comment was just an irony, but if I have to choose ... You need to be smart to be happy, although it seems a redundancy.

The presidential elections in my country just happened, and the millennials won. A joke was made about this generation, who called it "the generation that did not know the Merthiolate ..." When I was young, many, many moons ago, when you suffered a scratch or wound they put Merthiolate, which hurt more than the wound. On reflection we need some pain ! Roch Link to comment

sandyk Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Someone who has a low IQ and ADHD may be regarded by many as stupid, yet they may excel in narrow areas that they are interested in, and are sometimes quite artistic, and may even see things that we don't believe are possible.

Arguably there are still evolutionary pressures favoring smartness just not the same ones as centuries ago. It could be argued that smart people don't smoke, and will survive.
