>There's no evidence that people with higher IQs have more children than the middle and lower spectrums of IQ though. There was no survival pressure any time in the past 100 years that would explain it.

It's true if you focus on the mid-high end of the spectrum, but people with low intelligence have a very hard time adapting to modern society.

Right, but wouldn't that generally mean that IQs remain static (if evolutionary pressure is the only influence)?
