Human brains and height peaked just before the agricultural revolution, around 10,000 years ago based on evidence from physical anthropology, archaeology, and evolutionary biology.
Paleolithic, ~100,000 to 10,000 years ago: Brain size: ~1,400 cc
After Agricultural Revolution (~10,000 years ago): Brain size: ~1,375 cc
Modern Humans (Present day): Brain size: ~1,350 cc
Keep eating plants, and we’re literally shrinking our potential.
