Hmm…reminds me of an experiment done in mice…where the ones that had greater obstacles to contend with in order to get food or make it from one point o another had greater dendrite connections in their brains and were smarter than the mice that had it easy.

That logically makes sense too. I have always also noticed we are more productive and organized (in a way you can intelligent since we get more done) when we have more to do compared to when we have nothing or fewer tasks. If all one has to do is sit at home and everything will be provided they wouldn’t use their brain and no new connection would be formed in the brain. So yea, I can totally understand where the article is coming from. Although one could argue what that the technological advances of the current day are far too advanced for the hunter-gatherer type of man.
