Do you remember Professor Raoult? The eccentric French microbiologist who was cancelled during COVID for his controversial views? Well, he just published a fascinating new book "Homo chaoticus" where he presents a rather advanced post-Darwinian view of evolution.

One of the possible conclusions of his theory is that the observed decline in IQ might not be sociological or psychological, but rather infectious.

I just watched a long interview with him—it's absolutely captivating. It fills in gaps left by the traditional, almost paradoxically biblical, notion of a common ancestor given by Darwin and provides a compelling explanation of the role of chaos in evolution.
