Beautiful Intelligence
“Joanna cried, which made Manfred cry. Dirk grinned for days. Pouncey said very little – she found it difficult to believe, or so she claimed.
Joanna felt as though she was floating on air. For decades she had researched the acquisition of novel skills in chimp societies, and she had tried to use some of her discoveries to make hypotheses about the bis, then test them. As a strong supporter of the social intelligence theory of consciousness she grasped that almost everything learned by chimps wa...s done in the context of their societies – exactly the same as human beings. There was no “learner”, rather “a learner and a teacher”.
She berated herself for not realising that the bis might teach one another. Like Manfred, like Dirk, she had assumed that humans – the parents of the social group – would do the teaching: human to beautiful intelligence.
Dirk was fond of telling a story: Imagine a kid. Born outa artificial womb. Grows up, but no other people in da world. Not one, see?MoreLess
