Quote (Zachriel @ April 09 2007,13:14) | One such feature that distinguishes humans from other apes is a rapidly evolving gene involved in neural growth in the cerebral cortex.
Nature: The human factor Quote | What makes humans unique? A comparative genetics approach to this question reveals a candidate gene for a part in bestowing 'humanness'. Interestingly, the gene is expressed during embryonic development of the neocortex, the site of many of the brain's most sophisticated processes. |

I am willing to wager a single-malt bottle of scotch that it will be discovered that a "certain sub-group of homos" (IDists and creationists) might be missing a vital link that allows them to think critically, and makes them more susceptible to religion and non-critical thinking.
Do I get moved to the Bathroom Wall for suggesting that the new group will be named Homo Stupidus?
