Cool stuff.

The conclusion from the single-source of data seems reckless and the cause of the increased intelligence could easily be another or a combination of other advancements of that era in health, environment, educational facilities, immigrants or lack of immigrants, the advent of indoor plumbing, growing up during the depression...
