Hyenas bury materialist neuroscience deeper

The Darwinianist orthodoxy's insistence that we're so close to chimps fails again as researchers discover that hyenas are smarter than chimps at solving rope-related problems which any human infant would solve in an instant. If humans were really just 99% the same as chimps the apes should have cinched this, and moved on to typing Shakespeare after retrieving the food prize. Just as an excellent recent book compellingly argues this shows that thought cannot be the result of simple dumb molecules bumping around. Don't expect to see this news on too many front pages, though.
