I LOVE questions! But I'm afraid I don't understand this one. Does this refer to my paragraph on language being bounced of the visual cortex? That was just an out-of-control digression to portray the uniqueness of man. Upon re-reading that post I noticed it is kindof confusing.

Civilization is one of the most thoroghly studied topics of modern times and a beautiful application of the scientific method has produced anthropology - the study of US. This is one of my passions. The reason I immerse myself in biology, cosmology, neuroscience and linguistics is really anthropology and I salivate for a dialogue in that vein.
