Why "monkey see monkey do" isn't for apes
John Hawk's weblog succintly explains the experiment carl Zimmer did comparing his daughter's ability with a chimp following experiments by Andrew Whiten and colleagues on chimps, which he also reports.
Dennett on evolution and religion
A two part Der Spiegal interview with Daniele Dennett:
"Darwinism Completely Refutes Intelligent Design"
and a discovery from this of a weblog, Brain Ethics [consequences of brain science] by
Thomas Zoëga Ramsøy and Martin Skov
who pin-point two academic articles which look interesting:(1) Cognitive neuroscience of humn social behaviour
(2) Functional anatomy of human social cognition
Pleased to see the mention of autism in BrainEthics because it has been a constant interest of mine in relation to TOM, etc.
