Scientists Discover Proof That Humanity Is Getting
Dumber, Smaller and Weaker
Scientists have found
that our bodies and our minds have both deteriorated significantly compared to
our ancestors.
We are a copy of a copy of a copy ect...
We are a copy of a copy of a copy ect...
In fact, just this week a very prominent professor at Cambridge University said that “our most highly trained athletes pale in
comparison to these ancestors of ours”.
The biggest reason for this,
of course, is the degradation of
the
human genome.
Groundbreaking research by Dr. John Sanford of Cornell University and others has shown that our genes contain tens of thousands of
mistakes (mutations), and with each passing generation even more errors are
added and passed on.
So it should be no surprise that our ancestors were bigger, stronger, faster and
smarter.
The truth is that they
had better genes.
This kind of information
comes as a shock to many
people. It is widely assumed by
the general public that humanity is “progressing” and that we are better both
physically and mentally than our predecessors were.
But that is
not the case at all.
In fact, research
conducted at Cambridge University shows that we are “weaker than we used to be” and that
the most highly trained athletes of today “pale
in comparison” to those that lived thousands of years ago…
‘Even our most highly trained athletes pale in
comparison to these ancestors of ours,’ Dr. Colin Shaw told Outside Magazine.
‘We're certainly weaker than we used to be.’
The study looked at skeletons
dating back to around 5,300 BC
with the most recent to 850 AD – a
time span of 6,150 years.
It then compared
the bones to that of Cambridge
University students, and found the leg bones of male farmers 5,300 BC were just as good as
those of highly-trained cross-country runners.
In addition, earlier
research at Cambridge University showed that our bodies are “significantly smaller” than they were thousands of
years ago and that our brains are also
smaller…
An earlier study by Cambridge
University found that mankind is shrinking in size significantly.
Experts say humans
are past their peak and that modern-day people are 10 percent
smaller and shorter than their hunter-gatherer ancestors.
And if that’s not depressing enough, our brains
are also smaller.
The findings
reverse perceived wisdom that humans have grown taller and larger, a
belief which has grown from data on more recent physical development.
The decline, said scientists, has happened over the past
10,000 years. They blame agriculture,
with restricted diets and urbanization compromising health and leading to the
spread of disease.
Wow.
Most movies and television shows portray our ancestors as short,
stupid, hunched-over people that could barely survive in a cold, cruel world.
But the hard science
is revealing a very different picture to us.
As I mentioned above, the
primary reason for our decline as a species is the systematic deterioration of
our genes.
According to Dr. John Sanford of Cornell University, the
author of Genetic Entropy & the
Mystery of the Genome, each one of us already carries tens of thousands of harmful mutations, and each one of us will pass on at least 100 new mutations to future
generations.
Many scientists believe that this will ultimately lead
to something called “mutational
meltdown”.
The following is an excerpt from a paper
Geneticists have
long worried about the impact of
mutations on the human population, and that at a rate of one deleterious mutation per person per
generation, genetic deterioration would result.
Earlier reports were based
on estimates of mutation rates
considerable lower than what we now know to be the case.
Findings going
back to 2002 show that the human mutation rate is at least 100
mistakes (misspellings) per person per generation.
Some scientists believe the rate is closer to 300.
Even a rate of 100
has profound implications, and the
mutation rate is itself increasing.
Furthermore, most, if not all, mutations in the human genome must be deleterious.
“And nothing can reverse the damage that has been done during our own
generation, even if further mutations could be stopped.”
It would
appear that the process is an
irreversible downward spiral that will
end in “mutational meltdown”.
This is incredible
stuff with absolutely staggering implications.
Not only
are our brains getting smaller, but humanity is also getting dumber.
This sounds strange to many people, especially considering
the technological boom that we have seen in modern times, but it is actually
true.
In fact, a Stanford
University biology professor recently published two papers in which he expressed his conclusion that humans
have been getting dumber for thousands of years…
Are humans
becoming smarter or more stupid?
Comparing our modern lives and
technology with that of any preceding generation, one might think we are
becoming increasingly smarter.
But, in two papers published in Trends in Genetics, Gerald R. Crabtree of Stanford University claims
that we are losing mental capacity and have been doing so for 2,000–6,000
years!
The reason, Crabtree
concludes, is due to genetic
mutations—which are the backbone of
neo-Darwinian evolution.
Professor Crabtree, like Dr. Sanford, is convinced that this loss of mental capacity is
due to the accumulation of errors in our genes…
Based on data produced by the 1000 Genomes Project Consortium and two recent papers in Nature,
Crabtree estimates in the first article that, in the past 3,000 years (approximately 120 generations), about 5,000 new mutations have occurred
in the genes governing our intellectual ability.
He claims most of these mutations will have no effect, while
about 2–5 percent are deleterious
and “a vanishingly small fraction will increase fitness.”
Crabtree bases his
conclusion that humankind is losing
mental capacity on the ratio between the deleterious and the beneficial
mutations.
And to be honest, we
can see the loss of mental capacity all around us.
Just check out the following video in which average Americans are asked really basic
questions that appear on the U.S.
citizenship test…
So what do you think about all of this?
