IQ tests
Yeah, I get the evo thing, but i remain dubious that evo happens in 100 years. At least in this case, where there's no real environmental pull to cause us to evolve. Evo requires a pressure, and i don't see that. we are not selecting for the more intelligent - sighs - if only cause statistically more intelligent / successful people tend to have LESS kids.
"The thing is, while both nature and nurture might improve our intelligence, the real interesting thing is whether they conspire and feed back on each other. Do we improve intelligence selection criteria at the genetic level because of our more nurtured abilities?" -- Ohh, ahhh... ;-) So you are saying that it's possibly (likely?) that the biology the actual genetics can/might/does changes because of non genetic things like nutrition or the opposite say - malnutrition, poision in the water, etc?

I'm saying that to claim it doesn't happen is a bigger stretch. But the effect will be small, and only visible at the population level. But the sheer number of confounding factors make it difficult to fully quantify. Undoubtedly I think we will be selecting for more intelligence, just not in the obvious ways you might expect. Idiocracy was an interesting concept, but not really a documentary, I think.
Ugh, Idiocracy, don't even get me started on that.
Oh, i wasn't thinking it was a documentary. It is statically provable that the more successful (again, not "intelligent", as i have a super hard time quantifying that term) individuals have less (even 0) kids. My own dyslexia will be out of the gene pool, but so will my smarts.
What isn't considered is that just cause someone hasn't had a historical connection to things that allow him or her material success (like a good education) doesn't mean their genes are not equally "smart" when given the same chance.
But again, i'm a big believer in nurture more than nature.
