I think if it goes the other way they call it "devolution".
And anybody watching humanity would have to agree we are going the wrong way.
Average lifespan is on the increase, average intelligence on the increase, average height on the increase, food production on the increase, population on the increase, education on the increase, human knowledge on the increase.
What way would be better pray tell?
Declining lifespan, intelligence, height, food production, population, education and human knowledge? Let the Discovery institute fulfill its mission to destroy the empirical nature of Science and maybe things will go the other way, but it won't be the way I would like to see things go.
