That was kind of funny I had a big tabby cay who would bite me, and he would bite the dog too. The dog wouldn’t bite the cat back unless the cat was trying to steal the dog’s food.

We are more adaptable, some live in the Arctic.
But the great apes are more content and peaceful.
Is it war that develops us? Or populatión pressure leading to migration and meeting new conditions.
All very conventional of me. My bad…..

Dredd I have been seeing that level of communication in Congress and on Fox for years. Perhaps Anthropologists can be secreted in the cloak rooms of both houses for a ten year study. I’m sure the results would let us better understand the social dynamics of the great apes.
=========================================
Yes, in the sense that we have devolved for some reason.

Dredd,
Thanks for the comment,especially Natasha.
But to conclude, does the wide variation explain we must start over at zero with each child. Of course some raad by two and play the piano well at three.
But don’t we manage to phuck them up along the way to adulthood. Hanging out with a dumb crowd will do it.
Last puzzle: Why are Mensas so dumb, and narrow-minded?
==================================================
They do not treat their symbiont microbes well. 😉

David,
Let us not demean the Great Apes. We don’t qualify. They are peaceful and content themselves with territorial displays and few combats.
However, your proposal does have merit, other than that little small quibble on terminlogy.

Here is an odd tale, written by a psychiatrist here.
The book is called “Genius” where he weaves stories about humans who make the “first” discoveries (of speech for example). He is better known for “Children’s Island” and “House of Babel”.
I was reminded by the little cat’s movement, prior to the vertical pawings, as being reminiscent of a “human” father using objects and gestures to signal a message to his daughter, watching from the dock, as he was canoed away to be drowned for violating a tabu in the village.
The cat’s gestures make me wonder if it was trying to convey an intelligent complex message, akin to int’l sign langurage. A veritable feline genius.
=========================================
Not a stretch according to some recent studies of primates.
The “IQ” of individuals within species varies substantially:
It is widely thought that social intelligence is what really sets humans apart from primates.
But scientists may just have to rethink that view after being introduced to Natasha the ‘chimp genius’.
She has astounded researchers with her ability to manipulate situations and communicate with others in her species in a way they have never seen before.
(Daily Mail). What might be more astounding is that researchers for about a century have been telling us about this, but we have ignored it vehemently because of preconceived ideas.
I think, then, that perhaps we should study utter stupidity in species and predict we humans will excel in that realm.
