Proof of what? Be specific!

Interesting lecture. Not the most entertaining. I cannot help but wonder what would happen if life had been different for Bill and he wound up being homeless living on the streets without government support for advancement of science. Actually, what would half the people in that room be doing? I have met some homeless that talk of abstract subjects like Cerenkov radiation, carbon fiber nanotubes reaching into outerspace used for elevators, and other abstract subjects.

Do you have a proof for this?

Perhaps another note to be made about human intelligence is that the brain does not think alone without the body!

It should further be noted that it appears that Homo Erectus and pre-Sapiens did not have the facial expression ability of, well, Homo Sapiens. No other species has such range of facial expression.

I bring this up because I can't help noticing William thurston here is constantly acting out the different geometric behaviors and structures!

I've often thought that a major part of human intelligence is a general ability to mimic nature. Some life can mimic different species or aspects of nature. Some moths can blend into the bark of a tree. Some insects look like tree twigs and so on. Humans have a much more general ability to mimic nature and to communicate with each other this mimicry. Early on in Human evolution, humans liked to dress up like animals; they liked to put on deer antleres or bear or big cat skulls and so on ;
