I Just Made a Scary Realisation
A lot of intelligent people don't have kids, or at the most have about 2 kids.
Most kids are born from poor uneducated people who want to hit a jackpot by having a talented kid who will somehow become rich, even though the parents cannot provide anything for them.
From those two facts... I conclude that the average human's intelligence is going to drop and drop and drop... D:

I never mentioned anything about IQ...
Exhibit A: The famine in Africa. The people who live there have no idea how to solve it and are pretty much depending on help from first world countries (or so I've been led to believe by World Vision, LOL). They're starving, thirsty and pretty much screwed. Why would people like that keep having kids?
[quote=mikealSin]Pretty sure IQ isn't hereditary. I remember reading an article about this 13 year old genius (who is currently doing mathematics research and taking classes in some Illinois university) whose parents both dropped out of high school and were never good at math.[/quote]
What was his name, Jacob Barnett? I think that was it. As far as I'm concerned, his IQ is actually higher than Einstein's.
I can't say that this is true, I doubt that common sense and logic are hereditary. Besides, unless your parents are so dirt-poor that they can't even feed you, you will probably end up going to school anyway.
False due to kids being born from "stupid" parents most of them will want to be better then them so they can survive. It's in our genetic code to want to be bigger and better soo those kids who become "dumber" are probably of a faulty gene or the situation they are put into is the worst possible. Just being born from uneducated parents wont make you stupid.
This is true.
