Why do Humans talk science and not animals?

“Where we come from? What are we? Where are we going?”

Paul Gauguin (1897)

I have called this principle, by which

each slight variation, if useful, is

preserved,

by the term Natural Selection.

—Charles Darwin from "The Origin of

Species"

At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. Carl Sagan
