Hi Kim, Because of your explanation of "switches" below in conjunction with eye color, I have decided to post this to Language-Origins. It is my contention ...
To everyone, Here's a post from Howard that came via hbe-l. It differentiates between the Global Brain concepts of Peter Russell and D.S. Wilson. Please feel...
And again, and again and again. We Gaia Gals have no other choice. We view the memes working in conjunction with genes. Thanks for your approval Howard. ...
Thanks Helen. I just opted out. I also will post this to both Language-Origins and Global Brain in case others need this information. Not only has Yahoo...
Here's a post I snipped from another group. To begin with: "Lieberman (1995; Lieberman et al., 1996) has suggested that phenotypic plasticity-the expression...
This is very interesting! I was contemplating the same concept (though I was missing this term, "phenotypic plasticity") in considering how a brain might...
Paul, If the following were of interest, then perhaps you might like to try this book by Massimo Pigliucci. I also have a question for you which I have...
Phenotypic Plasticity is what is now being discussed over on Language- Origins in case some of you wish to join the discussion. Teresa Beacon ... like to try ...
To all, http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/staff/zolli/CAP/Main.htm Here is a fantastic site that might unlock some of the secrets about origins. Gerry [Non-text portions...
Gerry: This site is very good, and the CAT is useful, but I'm not sure exactly how it will "unlock some of the secrets about origins". Anne G ... From: "Gerry...

Let's see if I can clearly explain this. OK. Rather than thinking in terms of either/or i.e Homo is dissimilar to Ape or Homo is like ape, scientists should...
Snipped from Evol-Psych list. But here's a difficult question: who is more intelligent? Chimps or men? And for folks over on the Global Brain list, will a...
To Global Brainers and Language Originals, Here is a post from an AAT member that I'd like to share. Your moderator, Gerry ... From: catherinefriedl...
Here we have a gene expression chip that can compare brain activity of both chimp and human. Looks as though there's more protein in the human brain. Thanks...
Please read this and comment if you wish. I think that "Darwin's Duomo and Gould's Pinnacle" would have been a much better title than "Grand Design". I am...
Yes, whenever I hear the word Duomo I also think of Firenze but I did Google and there is a duomo in Milan. Gould humbly attaches his pinnacles to the duomo in...
Exactly. Only I'd salvage much of the structure. It's the foundation that is unstable. By adding a few pinnacles, Gould is simply adding paint to an ...
What "specific" aspects of Darwin's "duomo" would you salvage, Gerry? Are you rewriting "evolutionary biology" just because you think it's the PC thing to do?...
There's a lot of good stuff in Darwin, Teresa. Actually, I find it fascinating that he saw a relationship between animals of the sea and those of the land....

To Language Originals and Global Brainers, I may have sent this before. I have already placed my order with Amazon. You might wish to do the same. Gerry ... ...
I wish to elaborate. I also haven't read Calvin's book but based on the reviews I think he is claiming that a cold climate is more condusive to an increase in...
Hi all, I recently watched a documentary in which it was claimed that our larger brains owe their existence partly to a decrease in temperature. There is also...
Hi Brent, I think I also saw the same program. I very much agree that temperature (environment) has a direct cause on the intellect of an individual. Where...
