The main issue with IQ is that it's a sliding scale. Someone with an IQ score of 100 today is typically "more intelligent" than someone with an IQ score back in 1914.

I've also known people with doctorate degrees, but couldn't reason themselves out of a hole in the ground. They might be considered intelligent by many, but I wouldn't call them smart.

Not an issue at all.

IQ is a standardized score system. We know the delta from year to year so it's just some extra math required and we can compare IQ scores over time.

It's similar to how we can adjust for inflation if we want to compare amount of money over time.

IQ is nothing more than the measure of how well you take tests. I should know. I'm a dumbass and I repeatedly score in the mid 140's.
 
Sure, but how can eating protein change your DNA structure in a favorable way such as making your brain big and powerful? I eat lots of protein and I feel stupid most of the time.
If eating protein made people's brains bigger, then American's brains should be the size of basketballs by now.

DNA plays a huge part in ribosome and protein synthesis. Brush up on how a cell and cell replication works and you will understand. Keep in mind that our guts, thighs, pectorals etc are doing the same thing. Thunder thighs and man boobs aren't so uncommon either. If they or their descendants lift they look like Arnold though.
