Actually, if we take intelligence to be merely an indicator of genetic fitness, due to the genetic complexity inherent in its production, then the Flynn effect can be seen as a natural and inevitable outcome of the better medicine we have today, without necessarily saying anything about environment and its effect on IQ.

Flynn himself disagrees. If this were true, you'd expect the effects to exist in one way or another at all points on the scale. But I don't think it's reasonable to think that very bright people from 200 years ago had lower IQs than smart people now. I mean, look at Aristotle. He makes everyone look dumb.

Malcolm Gladwell has a good article about it here. I came across it while I was thinking about this thread.

It is thought that exposure to light after birth triggers the production of melanin in the iris of the eye. By three years of age, the eyes produce and store enough melanin to indicate their natural shade. While changes in eye color of infants are more common, even in adults, eye color changes are seen, most often as a result of exposure to the sun. Sunlight triggers melanin production in the eye, as it does to the skin.

Yep, my eye colour changes from mostly hazel green to mostly green depending on the time of year (and the associated amount of sunlight).

And what about your Down Syndrome?
