Who is the brightest of them all?
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the evolution of intelligence shows that man is not necessarily more intelligent than other species. Intelligence is a comparative trait because all species have different capabilities. For instance, bats can fly around in the dark guided only by sound pulses, a trait not inherent in man. A US bird, Clark's nutcracker, stores around 30,000 seeds in numerous places and then remembers during the next six months where they are hidden. Animals surprise man both by being able to do things he would not believe and also by being unable to do the expected.

Knowing your own minds; latest developments in the theory of multiple intelligences
Article Abstract:
Some psychologists take the view that human beings have many forms of intelligence, not just one. They include using language, learning logic and mathematics, learning music and interacting with other human beings. One expert feels that nearly all human beings have the capacity to be musically adept, but few are encouraged so the ability fails to develop. Some experts feel these intelligences can be nurtured using active learning and other methods.

Twist in the tale of two genders
Article Abstract:
Modern Darwinists have ignored data on homosexuality in animals and, therefore, are complicit in the persecution of homosexuals. It is argued that a treasure trove of data on sexuality and gender in animals has been swept under the rug by Darwinists and that by ignoring this data, which often casts doubt on or directly refutes Darwinian theory, Darwinists have perpetuated the idea that homosexuality is unnatural.
