> dhw: Once again I can only thank you, not only for a superb article but also for your integrity in presenting an argument you disagree with. Needless to say, I am delighted to find an expert in the field confirming just about everything I believe concerning animal cognition and the direct link between our ancestors and ourselves.-Thank you. de Waal is a famous scientist whose observations are right on. I just disagree with his conclusions about how close we are both emotionally and mentally. I recognize the continuity just as he does in the quotes you have given. The argument is, as always, the size of the gap. Enormously enormous, and for no apparent reason in nature's pressures. > dhw:Thank you again, David, for shining this light even into your own darkness!-Not as dense as yours!
