I'll be basing it off this article, and shooting some blackpills at you: https://www.discovermagazine.com/th...ans-are-so-smart-why-are-our-brains-shrinking
According to the article, human brain sizes have been decreasing with the increase in higher population density.
This is most likely due to humans not needing to be as smart to survive anymore.
But we can use the blackpill to understand why this is inevitable, and how it explains the differences in IQ and brain sizes among different populations across the world.
First of all in evolution, whatever you don't need will be a waste to keep around due to it having an energetic cost, and will require more food.
As population centers got larger in the ancient past, the ones that gave up brain power to focus their energy on reproductive succees through better looks would have wiped out their competition.
We see this in modern times as well, as progeny number is correlated with a man's attractiveness while negatively correlated with his IQ, which is best predicted by brain size relative to body size.
Because of this, it is evolutionarily advantageous for someone to reallocate that energy from using it on brain power to using it on their facial asthetics.
So how can this explain some trends we find in modern humans?
Just look at the level of androgenization of different populations from around the world.
When we look at Africa, the males are very masculine and have the highest levels of tesoterone in the world.
However, they also have the smallest brain sizes on average, with it measuring around 1250cc, down from the ancient 1500s.
When we look at places with the least androgenization, the East Asians also have the biggest brains of all human populations, only down to 1420cc from 1500s.
This means there was smaller sexual selection for males in places like East Asia since they aren't so androgenized, and thus have bigger brains for people there.
Obviously this trend isn't universal due to other factors being a lot stronger. Curries for example are low iq and have small brains on average because they evolved in a region where food was scarce and they have poverty genetics to not die in case another famine hits.
Whites have middle level iq due to having only moderate sexual selection only, but have better facial asthetics because in the cold climate, all you could see after being covered up was the face, and thus why facial asthetics are the greatest in European populations but the testosterone levels are still in the middle. Even though Asians also lived in colder climates as well, they had low amounts of sexual selection as we have already established.
In conclusion, it's blackpills all the way down.
There is no theory that involves human sexual selection that can exist without the blackpill, because the blackpill is derived from observations of anmal sexual selection.
Humans are literally becoming lower and lower iq over the millenia because women are banging Chads instead of Newons or Teslas who aren't as attractive.
