I love it when evo's contradict themselves--in the same breath. This always happens, and is inevitable too, when a position is actually not true.

New research shows breathing smoke can transport toxins directly to the brain through the olfactory nerves (Science News, 5/22/10, p16). Evo's have picked up on this to say that our "invention" of fire caused natural selection to kill off those of us that had the best sense of smell and lots of nerve endings in our noses (p31) . Okay, well at least that has some logic to it. But wait. A new evo-book details the intimate and long-standing evo-relationship between dogs and humans (p30) . Indeed, dogs can read us far better than monkeys ... despite all the "link" stories about our tree-swinging "cousins." But wait. If dogs have been hanging out in our caves and by our fires for so long -- then why do they still have the most celebrated mammalian sense of smell? Once again, evo-logic runs into a brick wall--itself. Keep thinking. DrJ
