Probably far more from lack of micro-nutrients and the Flynn Effect. On top of that our IQ will have changed over hundreds of years. We have evolved living in cities, it genetically changed our minds, see the Peppered moth for the cliche on cities and evolution. It's probably only in the last 100 years our evolution has stopped, perhaps moving backwards but we are going full into intelligent design.
