We are the final frontier |
We are the final frontier
http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/feature/story/0,13026,1409019,00.html
Copernicus, Darwin, Crick and Watson changed the way people see
themselves. Ian Sample asks leading scientists what comes next
Thursday February 10, 2005
The Guardian
Humans have always thought of themselves as special, and with good
reason. As far as we know, we are alone in the universe in churning out
great works of art and literature, in formulating the laws of physics,
and in creating the spectacle that is morris dancing.
But our view of ourselves as the pinnacle of life has suffered huge
blows at the hands of science. Every now and again comes an idea so
revolutionary that it rocks the foundations on which our hubris is
built.

I would add Jane Goodall, though it's not clear that everyone has
soaked that revolution up yet.

Chimps are *far* too civilised to ever conceive of morris dancing.

Of course the Macarena is not so much a "dance" as a "symptom".
