This is obviously true, except other changes have happened. People have got taller. I'm no expert but I believe that's mostly down to better nutrition. Is it possible that better nutrition has also led to people getting smarter? I'm not sure. I wouldn't bet on it, but it doesn't seem completely impossible either.
