The age old question of what makes humans unique has been taken up by a new team of researchers in the Why Are Humans Unique Project and its principle investigator and researcher has announced the possible formation of a massive experimentation project. In an online think tank the head researcher of this experiment states to the group in the formalization of the criteria for the project: Now comes the hard part, establishing the threshold and boundaries which will determine the classification for this group. Indeed a clear and concise focus will be necessary for humankind to finally answer the question once and for all; What makes mankind unique? One of the think tank members added insult to injury in this thought process when he stated: Not to be a pragmatists, but wouldnt it be better to have a gray area boundary? I mean that would be more real to the observations of life right? I mean you set your boundaries and then extend them in gray scale for data which maybe just outside the margins, but eventful enough to list, hate to put that information into the electronic trash can because it is always those little things that are not expected outside the boundaries which are the biggest clues and sometimes one of those little things can be the biggest finding of all, even more important that all the data discovered within. Indeed it appears that there are numerous examples of such in research, science and solutions to such. And it also appears actually that they are both correct, so this issue will have to be addressed but a clearly defined focus must be insured otherwise we cannot trust the results to the answers we all seek. Consider this in 2006. |
