Is There a Quantitative Increase in Intelligence?

I think intelligence is an extremely powerful force, argueably the most powerful force in the universe. We're slightly cleverer than those of our great ape ancestors and through that, we have then leveraged this cognitive advantage into a massive advantage in every possible dimension. So if yo think about what gives us humans this unique position on the planet to day, it's not that we have stronger muscles or sharper claws, it its our brains. And you see this not just an exciting possibility, but a potentially threatening one.
