That's all you are is lots of talk and no evidence.
Find any examples yet of families of humans living
full time on cliffs, plunge diving for clams? |

This is what I am talking about. Now EVERYBODY who watched this
video is as smart as monkeys are. Of course, they will attribute this to
their big neocortex. -- Mario Petrinovic |

I remember reading a study some years back that suggested that many smart
animals find a solution to a problem that works and just stick with it even
if it is not the optimal way of doing things.
They were trying to compare the problem solving abilities of orangs to
lesser animals and the problem was that some of the orangs were happy to go
with a one in three chance of being right the first time and a one in two
chance the second time as long as they got the food under the bowl. |
