analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a
tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is
for insects.
I have done most of those, and can also gather food from the wild,
make netting tools and make a net, and a few other things. My view
is that we might be better off if nobody ate meat that thet hadn't
killed and butchered themselves :-)
Well don't practise the 'dying gallantly' just yet :~)
I am not so hot on the 'fighting efficiently', either :-)
Nick.
