Well, humanity's an evolutionary dead end so long as we keep the "flaws" around (and are bound to planetary life on earth)- but do we need to evolve? What do we gain by cutting and pasting what we think is desirable? What do we risk losing?

Genius is as much a fluke of genetics as schizophrenia. Do we quell one and encourage the other without understanding either? Do we really want to hand Permanent Solutions to a medical establishment that already has half the country popping pills for disorders they don't understand?

If you haven't read it, check out the research the University of Utah did in a population with remarkable incidence of genius level intelligence, the Askanazi Jews. There were links to a number of congenital physical ailments that tracked with the tendency to extraordinary intellect. If the assumptions are reasonably sound, which is a matter of some discussion, the case study makes a good argument for the synergy of nature and nurture combinee. Even with its shortcomings, the study is worth a read in its exposition of genetic detective work, and the rarity of such genetic clusters in human societies. We do get around.
