So what about beavers?

They don’t even have hands, yet they can create a differential pressure regulator capable of curtailing one of nature’s strongest forces – running water.

And what about termites who engineer passive ventilation strategies into their homes, by utilising the buoyancy effect of warm air to draw in cooler air into the base of the mound?

Animals were making machines long before we were, my friend. What makes us special is our bizzare fascination for quantifying our environment. For example, who decided that the passing of time should be sub-divided as it is? Who called it time anyway?
Was a mile a mile before the first human walked his first mile? How was all this new information remembered?

We are scientists, and it’s our ability to communicate with each other that gives us these powers.

Show me a talking monkey and I will retract my argument. (Ps Mike’s brother doesn’t count!)
