    They want to make people smaller and more intelligent? Mutually exclusive surely.

        On the contrary, geeky geniuses are generally substantially shorter than professional sportsmen And the Chinese are pretty short, but not known for being thicker than the rest of us!

          Hardly any short people, 4 foot or so, can pass a GCSE, and people a foot or so tall usually have trouble even tying their shoe laces properly.

            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Dwarfs (or whatever the right collective term is) are smart though so conclusive proof it can be done.

              What about reducing size/mass by removing unnecessary appendages like limbs? That must reduce the resources needed. In fact if we engineer everyone to be a dwarf without legs, we're on to a winner.

                This was all foreseen in 1930 by Olaf Stapledon in his opus magnus, Last and First Men.

                    Being cold blooded is the way forward for huge calorie savings. Not sure this is compatible with high intelligence though, unless the brain is large enough to heat the body by the power of thought, e.g. by solving Einstein's field equations without pen or paper.

                    Who can come up with the most intelligent cold blooded creature. I'll start with octopus.
