I don't think much of Kerry McCarpet, as a woo enabler. She's one of the main people who was promoting "Jen Journey" and enabling her suicide by supporting her shunning treatment for her very treatable cancer. Kerry has Jen's blood on her hands, along with the many others who may follow in those footsteps.
Scientists have explanations for this, which true to form as a woo she flippantly dismisses in favor of quack "theories".
Yes, we're obviously not getting stupider (well, not until recently anyway), so it stands to reason that the brain probably is just getting more efficient (something that has been studied more than she would like to admit). Intelligence isn't very well correlated to brain size among humans, except IIRC for within families (e.g. siblings).
Next she references Tony Wright, who is a complete nutcase the raw community has decided for some reason is credible. A bunch of phytonutrients are the root of all evolutionary processes pseudoscience, from what I can tell. There's nothing of substance in these arguments, just a bunch of assertions and science-sounding words to wow people into a state of gullibility.
Next she claims our
empathy is shrinking. Oh no, the world is ending! Everything is falling apart these days!
Except that's not true at all. Great talk by Steven Pinker:

"Tony Wright's research"? Yeah? Where?
Let's see a link to a respected peer reviewed journal on evolutionary biology. Or maybe just see some real data rather than a bunch of ridiculous powerpoint slides with meaningless flashy illustrations.
More unsubstantiated claims. Lots of rhetoric. Total bullshit. She's completely nuts.
She's accidentally right about the problems of hedonism, but totally wrong about the solution.
She doesn't even seem to understand the basics of evolution, painting some kind of Lamarckian picture instead.
And then as she goes into meat and fruit... This is the kind of stuff that makes vegans look crazy. No substance to it at all.
Yes, meat causes heart disease and cancer. No, it doesn't shrink the brain from generation to generation and atrophy our emotional organs.
