Her upbringing doesn't seem to be having much affect at all. <br /><br />In her brother's case, however, he has been strongly modified by nurture. <br /><br />It gives one the willies both ways.

Too many inexplicable characteristics and traits to explain away as being solely one of the two.Shockedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562350512966828981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-70184497165836831422012-11-26T09:14:36.583-05:002012-11-26T09:14:36.583-05:00No longer evil?

The nephews never talk as early as the nieces (boys are so lazy) but they definitely understand you.

Since we, as adults regularly use language to reason- many believe language must develop in order for thinking to exist. However- observing babies, and observing autistic children (read Temple Grandin's Thinking in Pictures) offer proof that cognition can. and DOES develop prior to language. Language is just how we organize and make sense of our thoughts. But- it isn't a prerequisite.<br />PremonitionsofanAfterthoughthttp://www.premonitionsofanafterthought.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-44236809378709948902012-11-22T16:18:01.564-05:002012-11-22T16:18:01.564-05:00Just because they're short, bald and incontine...Just because they're short, bald and incontinent doesn't mean they can't manipulate intelligently.<br />And the incontinence is a plus.
