Researchers in Canada say that our ability to understand the thoughts of other people - to some times "read between the lines" - appears to be generated by a single region in the brain. And they say this discovery may therefore hold part of the explanation for what makes us "human". Understanding what other people are thinking is one of the qualities that sets human beings apart from other primates. http://news.bbc.co.uk/low/english/sci/tech/newsid_1148000/1148415.stm Joseph. ---------------------------------------------- Joseph Kehoe, MSc Raven Internet Technologies Ltd. ph: +353 503 52450 www.raven.ie Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=15516
