Actually, it has been surpassed by the human race. You do not see any other species procreating for "intelligence", yet here we are: We say we are procreating 'intelligence" yet we allow stupid to survive. We enact laws that cater to the weakest links in our society, as if that will save the human race.
I don't see animals making new rules that save the ill, the lame, the weak. They know that to do that will, ultimately, end up with the extinction of their species. The strong will survive and those genes will be passed to their offspring.
We stopped doing that. We did not do it out of intelligence but out of guilt. We let our emotions decide for us. All you have to do is look at all the laws enacted "for our protection" in the last 30 years. Name one that did not come after a tragedy or multiple tragedies.
Often tragedies that were the result of stupidity or carelessness, or society's stupid need to "rehabilitate" some, or society's need to protect us from harm, real or imagined.
We are not breeding for intelligence any more, that would have come out if human evolution had been allowed to proceed without out meddling.
We are evolving into a race that reflects our lowest common denominator.
