[Marvel] What does "peak human" mean in terms of Captain America?

I remember reading that the super serum boosted all of Steve's attributes to "peak human" levels. I can see how it applies to physical traits like strength, speed, stamina, etc. but what about mental? Intelligence was on the list where I read it, but surely Steve's intelligence cannot compare to the likes of Tony Stark,Hank Pym, and other humans.

Also, regarding his physical attributes, does this mean even after a billion years of evolution Steve will still eclipse other humans?

Intelligence doesn't really equate to knowledge, more like comprehension and retention. Why he doesn't do the same super sciency stuff as other intelligent characters is simple, he isn't interested in it. Even for someone of a Genius IQ, learning something that doesn't interest them is difficult. Which is why somone like Hank Pym isn't good at everything ever, he has particular areas of expertise. Captain America's particular area of expertise are things like tactics, leadership, and probably physics judging by how well he can ricochet that shield. Captain America is a genius, he just doesn't apply it like other smart characters.

The physical portion is a bit murkier, even more so with how murky evolution is with the marvel universe. When it's said Captain America is peak human, it means he's as physically strong, fast, ect. as any human could possibly be currently. So sure, humans might evolve their way past Captain America, though that would be a lot of evolution for humanity's base parameters to be higher then marvel's peak.
