...Of Human Conceitedness And Scientific Staleness<br /><br /><br />A. Pearls from "Common fish species has 'human' ability to learn"<br />http://www.physorg.com/news164423377.html<br /><br />- "The findings show that big brains, like those in humans, are not necessarily needed as a pre-requisite for cumulative culture."<br /><br />- "The researchers say the findings contribute to the understanding of brain evolution and the types of brain required for certain cognitive functions, both in humans and animals."<br /><br />- "But our results suggest brain size isn't everything when it comes to the capacity for social learning."<br /><br />- "These fish are obviously not at all closely related to humans, yet they have this human ability to only copy when the pay off is better than their own. You might expect this ability in animals who are closely related to humans. In the case of the nine-spined stickleback, they have most likely adapted to their local ecology."<br /><br /><br />B. About time for life sciences to assimilate, to internalize, that it is culture that drives genetics, NOT genetics that drives culture,<br /><br />starting with search-surfing "Dov Henis : It is culture that drives genetics, not genetics that drives culture"<br /><br />Suggesting, <br /><br />Dov Henis <br />(Comments From The 22nd Century) <br />http://profiles.yahoo.com/blog/2SF3CJJM5OU6T27OC4MFQSDYEU<br />Origin Of Origins <br />http://www.the-scientist.com/community/posts/list/160/122.page#2753Dov Henishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487907863785174174noreply@blogger.com
