Human Evolution: Smaller Brains

An article entitled "Humans Still Evolving as Our Brains Shrink" was simply too good to pass up.  At first I looked for a correlation with news reporting (thinking about a station named after the genera Vulpes).

Of course, one of the comments referred to a movie called "Idiocracy" which may well turn out to be prophetic. 

Kurt Vonnegut's "Galapagos" also comes to mind.  In any case, I suspect this is an unexpected turn in natural selection that we can all have some fun with.
