IQ levels in Europe drop over past century - researchers

IQ levels in Europe have dropped 14 points in the past century decreasing by more than one point every ten years.
Findings to this effect were published by researchers from Brussels, Amsterdam and the Irish city of Cork.

According to scientists, IQ levels were higher during the Victorian era as people demonstrated a higher reaction speed.
One of the reasons for a steady drop in IQ scores is that women with high IQs are unwilling to overburden themselves by having children.

As a result, the descendants of less intellectually advanced women prevail, NEWSru.com reported.
