I’m back at school following the Thanksgiving break, and for the next two weeks my life will be dominated by final exams. I’ve gotten my required courses out of the way now, so from this point on everything I take will be in my core curriculum of genetics. (Those required courses were a struggle, as they were all insectivore-based as befitting my species. However, I guess you all know that I was new to an insect-based diet, and a lot of catching up was involved. I’m up to speed now.)
Last week someone asked about the DNA analyses of indigenous species of North American. Yes, those have been done, and they support the theory that they migrated over the Bering Strait land bridge eons ago.
Someone else asked about the relative intelligence of different species here. I don’t know about humans, but here there is research that supports the concept of various types of intelligences with different yardsticks involved. The pioneering studies on this was done by a herbivore named
Howard Garden.
Surprisingly, it was Gran who first led me to the readings in which the theory was based.
