>The adjective "dysgenic" is the antonym of "eugenic".
>Lynn argued that natural selection in pre-industrial societies favored traits such as intelligence and character but no longer does so in modern societies. The hypothesized dysgenic decline in human intelligence is traced to a change in the distribution in fertility and intelligence by Woodley (2015).
>Lynn (1996) has received both favourable and unfavourable reviews.
Are they right? Is the proportion of oxygen thieves in the world higher than ever due to lower selection pressure?
Can designer babies fix the future?
