Actually, wrong JD. Evolution can in fact be a two way street. To be more precise, evolution is non-linear. Evolution is simply a biological adaptation in response to changing conditions. There is no backwards or forwards, only change in response to changes. 
Furthermore, EXnyer's original post is accurate. There is a growing body of evidence that demonstrates that even as our society continues to make technological advances, as a whole we are quite literally getting dumber. I will leave the how and why to other heads to explain.
