"From The Economist story:
'Human intelligence is a biological mystery. Evolution is usually a stingy process, giving animals just what they need to thrive in their niche and no more. But humans stand out. Not only are they much
cleverer than their closest living relatives, the chimpanzees, they are also much cleverer than seems strictly necessary.
Sometimes, the restrictive approach of contemporary science puts handcuffs on questers for knowledge rather than opening the door to enlightenment." EN&V
So God created man in his own image, ...........And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image;
Genesis 1:27/5:3
The ability to do geometry, or to prove Pythagoras' theorem, has turned out to be rather handy over the past few thousand years.

Humans' outsized, power-hungry brains suck up around a quarter of their body's oxygen supplies.'
