There appears to be a relationship between being domesticated and being juvenile. The most obvious example are dogs. Adult dogs are actually wolf cubs. Over time their development has been stunted and they maintain all the physical and psychological features of young wolves. If you are always protected by humans and never live in the wild, you never have to grow up. And over time those physiological...

In his reply, UCLA historian Anthony Pagden doubts that the historical discontinuity created by the onset of modernity is "as sudden or as all-pervasive" as Stephen Davies makes it out to be.

Kepler founded modern astronomy by looking for a harmony that we wouldn't recognise as scientific at all Paper darkens as it grows old, but vellum just goes duller white, like the belly of a snake: looking at some of the manuscripts through which learning made its serpentine passage across the medieval world makes it obvious that you couldn't call those ages "dark".

Yep. I feel the same way about the Prof Nutt pity party. All things considered, Nutt would appear to lack at least two of the main qualifications for martyrdom. Take his supposed claim to victimhood: he was a quangocrat, now he's not. Ah well. Burning at the stake this isn't. Hey, it's hard to say anything nice about our politicians, but at least we can throw them out every now and again. Fringe kooks...

Classof1: Company has offered a refund for all Baby Einstein videos. Moms and dads bought them believing in the promo that baby would emerge from the crib a certified genius, if she watched them early.
