Babies and Monkeys Influence on Human Progress
A columnist cites Dr Lewis on infant instincts such as preference for rough objects and the urge to whack hard items, arguing these drive material progress. Dr Clark and Dr Osborn are quoted noting human mutation from monkeys and an independent evolution path, not from apes. An American scientist places human brain evolution earlier than Darwin suggested, while a Caribou hotel scene recounts a man in a bathing suit posing in a snow drift for a challenge.
