Talk:Evolution of intelligence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article needs references and reworking of the central ideas. A lot has been written about human evolution and the evolution of intelligence. Maybe it should be merged with another article about similar topics in wikipedia???? how would you do this?--Reefpicker 22:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Uggh. Yea, I think it should be turned into a stub its so horrible. The intro talks about only one, particularly outdated idea, namely group selection as if that were the only idea out there about the evolution of intelligence. Intros are supposed to be general introductions. And group selection is anything but a general introduction. Its actually pretty much been rejected by most evoltutionary biologists. Oh yea, and not to mention the little bit about "protecting the intellectually less endowed" So all I can say is "what the hell?" It looks like it was written by a high school student who read the synopsis of the chapter on evolution in their HS biology class, then thought they knew enough to write an article on the evolution of intelligence.
