dhw:In brief, for all the gulf in scale, I don't see why anyone should believe that our quest for knowledge and our moral and aesthetic sense are not an evolutionary extension of the same characteristics to be found in our animal ancestors.-Of course it is an evolutionary extension, just the magnitude is extremely surprising. Animals don't need the aesthetics we have, but it is nice we have them. Adler ascendant! Difference in kind, without question.
