Actually, in a few thousand years of modern medicine, the baby's heads might be even bigger. Assuming that allows them to be more intelligent and therefore survive better given intervention to get them out alive via a C-section, evolution doesn't care that they need to be surgically extracted...

Seems to me that the intelligent tend to have less babies though.

Yes, unfortunately. We may end up with "Idiocracy" after all... although that is actually way too optimistic.

This is a major reason for "medical tourism" to places like Malaysia and the Philippines (IIRC); there, you can get a private room with hot and cold running nurses for under (in some cases well under) $100/day.

Just catching up on this thread. The bolded part is the funniest typo I have read in a while. I'm off to Southeast Asia!

That's not a typo; it's a quotation from a book, I think a Heinlein one.
