In the video it first shows a line graph representing the average IQ of American citizens’ which is increasing until about 1955 when it took a sudden clear downturn. As the line rapidly goes in the downward direction, it passes by some of the causes such as families with low IQ’s reproducing twice as much as families with relatively high IQ’s. Also that because of the gun, man has no natural predators, now we have no fear for our lives and our natural instincts which brought us this far are abandoning us. Our instinct is key to survival, it helps our decision-making skills and provides a sense of morality even at birth, and without it we are doomed to be foolish and corrupt takers instead of givers. Then the graph passes by words on the board stating “Causing… Human population to increase… And average IQ to decrease”. Then it displays the human brain decreasing in size and capacity. After the graph visual ended, several videos were displayed, two at a time to explain the unremarkable similarity between human behavior and the behavior of monkeys. This arouses the question, “Have we really come so far or are we the most foolish animal to think we are superior to other species?” The video skips to several people in a court room, watching a man and a monkey as they’re tossed a ball. The man failed to catch the ball and the monkey succeeded. The video as a last sign of hope showed a point on the other side when a woman took the floor and offered the monkey either a banana or a wad of money. The monkey of course took the banana, but though many will interpret this to be a counterpoint to devolution, this could be used to prove devolution more so than disprove. They posed a situation in an attempt to disprove devolution but when the monkey chose the banana which is instant sustenance and self gratification over the foolish concept of money which has no definite value, he was most definitely displaying a sign of natural instinct which we lack and have lost sight of.
