There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
As for "animal instincts" one theory is inherited memory. I read where one anthropologist suggested that a human baby, as compared with other animals, is always born "premature" because of the size of the human head; thus born too soon to fully acquire "natural instincts."
I have also read that modern humans are not evolving larger brains in comparison with Ace Age people. I have had this notion myself, considering that a stone-age man had to do a great deal of thinking and figuring things out merely to survive off of what nature provides.
