Question

Has peak human intelligence been reached on earth?

Answer 1

Huh? I don't get it.

Answer 2

It depends on your definition of intelligence

Answer 3

There is no way to answer this question until the last day of human existence on earth.

Answer 4

nah mate

Answer 5

Yes.

It has peaked and is now on a sharp decline.

Answer 6

First, define human intelligence. A great composer whose music can speak to your heart? A scientist who finds something that no one else could even imagine? Or perhaps, an artist whose painting can stay instilled in your mind for hours? Can it be defined? Measured? These are questions we are still unsure of, till this day. Who amongst us will have the answer? Will it be, for once, a universal answer?

Throughout history, we have had some of the greatest minds, and they will always be acknowledged. But I do not believe it ends here, there are definitely more yet to come. We can take for example, Science- it is never ending and constantly changing. There will be a time were someone will come along and shed more light on or perhaps even disprove some of our past ideas which have been published as facts.

I do not believe in a peak of human intelligence. At least I would hope that there is no such thing.

Answer 7

no we're discovering new things everyday!!

Answer 8

i think  its uuh...falling by the day actually :|

Answer 9

No every day someone thinks up something new so that a another miracle can happen. Humans are evolving all the time.

Answer 10

It is the same as it has always been.

It is the dumbing down of education that makes it appear that intelligence has fallen away.

Answer 11

you must draw the distinct line between intelligence and knowlege..

knowlege is finite...

the ability to comprehend, understand, rationalize, estimate, and thoerize (intelligence).. is boundless

Answer 12

no way in fact its been proven that the kids nowadays are more intelligent than ever especially in technology and the sciences the iq in society is definately going up although withalot of the yobs you cant tell lol

Answer 13

Do we know how far the universe spans?  Do we know how many rocks there in the universe?

No.  We humans are constantly learning.  There is no point in time where we are never learning.  As we learn, we become more intelligent.  As we learn about the universe, for example, we learn that stars are created and destroyed.  We learn about mysterious things, such as black holes and white holes.  And there are still undiscovered things as well oiut there.  So no, I do not think that our intelligence as peaked yet.

If you refer to the individual human... then I cannot explain that.  Humans vary very much in their learning patterns.

Answer 14

not by a long shot

Answer 15

Per Individual or per total population?

Answer 16

no

Answer 17

Humans have nothing new to offer except repeats and part twos

Answer 18

No.

The more crowded the planet gets the more intelligent people will need to be to survive.

Answer 19

getting there. about 30%. but it will exponentially increase the more intelligent we become.

Answer 20

Are you kidding? No way! There is so much of a future ahead of us. We are just getting started.
