Also, it’s possible that humans were quickly evolving towards being more intelligent when they got interrupted by the invention of civilization and there’s still more low-hanging fruit to be picked.
And the mechanism by which civilization interrupts the evolution of intelligence is?
By changing selection pressures and by not having been around for very long.
That sounds plausible. Of course it also sounds plausible as an explanation for rapidly increasing the evolution of intelligence.
This seems compatible with Stephen Hsu’s models.
