What has the new study found out?

The study has warned that there are limits to how smart humans can get, and trying to increase your thinking ability can be risky.

What are some of the problems involved in trying to get smarter?

1. Each of our body parts evolved in a certain way for a reason, so if our brains evolved to be bigger, there could be more deaths during childbirth. 

2. People with higher IQs are more likely to develop nervous system diseases.

3.There is an upper limit to how much people can or should pay attention.

Q: Can drinking coffee improve your attention span?

A: Not really. They found that the drugs only helped people with serious problems. For those who did not have trouble paying attention, the drugs could have the opposite effect.

4. Having a good memory is not necessarily a good thing. Why is this?

People with extremely vivid memories could end up having difficult lives because if bad things happen, they might find it difficult to forget them.

What is the conclusion of the study?

It’s unlikely there will ever be a “supermind”.
