Which genetic variants were selected out of the population (in one generation), and how did they lead to decreased brain size?
I’m asking this because you think genetic selection happened to change brain size. This level of genetic selection would show up in population genetic screens like a huge, obvious signal. So, please point me to that.
But you won’t do that. Instead you’ll wave your hands and say “oh details are not important”. You are going to say that because you’re wrong and there is no real factual basis for your belief. Instead you’re relying on vibes, and half remembered pop science, and a unhealthy amount of open mindedness to one of the worst ideas humanity has ever had (eugenics).

You're giving opinions on those responses you made up, and speculating how the discussion would further go. It's clear that you're completely out there, disconnected from what I said. I'm not required to speak, as you can have imaginary dialog running in your head that goes in the direction you prefer that paints you as morally and intellectually superior. I'm done here.
