The propaganda onslaught is reaching a crescendo.
Applying this to humans, every time a child is born that is taller or shorter than it's parents, it's evilution in action.
Why then don't they wish to talk about the devolution? Humans are shorter and considerably less intelligent than they were just 4500 years ago. Don't hear any bragging going on though.

Probably because devolution is a nonsense term.

Humans are shorter and considerably less intelligent than they were just 4500 years ago.Huh? What? Did you find ancient clay tablets recording the results of standardized intelligence tests? How could you possibly know this?!?!? Especially that humans were "considerably" more intelligent circa 2500 BC?
As to stature, where you getting that? What population specifically are you claiming exhibited greater stature? And what modern population do you propose comparing them to?
So far this article gives some of the LARGEST stature measurements I can find from your time period. For a group of 24 Sicilian MALES it gives a mean stature of 169 centimeters. That's only 5' 5".
