> How did we ever survive?

We kinda barely did.

When all those humans that as children expeirienced "low SES and high TES" sat on then fruits of industrial revolution we got two world wars. Heck, we were close to nuclear holocaust thanks to f'ed up kids. Lower IQ makes you more susceptible to getting violent (childhoood lead exposure vs crime).

That Flynn effect? Could be just result of not messing up our kids so much anymore.
