Tongue in cheek, but actually true.

Pic neanderthal teeth.

Then we are all dead. Notice that most land arthropods (insects, etc) and birds have already disappeared. Millions of people have already died of it, recorded with such causes of death as diabetes. We won't last much longer.

>Our evolutionary history is almost completely devoid of mercury or lead,
No it isn't. The teeth in pic is a quarter millions years old.

>so our bodies have no means of processing or tolerating them. They are purely toxic.

The body uses them in proteins. The proteins work when the metals are present, the body is extremely sensitive in using the heavy metals over anything else, it takes orders of magnitude less lead that it takes the supposedly correct calcium to activate the same protein. it isn't poisoning.
Rome also fell due to its exhaustion, in a course of history eerily similar to modern history. That is not the only case. It seems it takes about 80 years at most, as the old people die and then things begin to rapidly deteriorate as the new generations are brain dead.

Not me, but not completely wrong.

Also not me, and wrong. The most likely connection with iron is that iron poisoning makes the body unable to use lead properly. The symptoms of iron poisoning and lead deficiency share much similarity.
Also lead deficiency causes gigantism, not stunted growth, as lead regulates growth hormone release.
As many other forms of brain damage it isn't properly measured by IQ. Indeed the flynn effect may be the result, either as people train up from the constant need to compensate for their broken brains, or because those who made the tests were already defective, and not all questions have a rational solution. These two are not mutually exclusive.
