I read the headline... and I thought that they discovered something in Serbia that disproved evolution.

I like the theory of evolution myself, but even I know it has some flaws when applied to complex species such as our own. At the lower levels, it makes a lot of sense, but when applied to our genetic ancestors... there had to be a breaking point where hominid intelligence stopped being operative and expanded to include intuition, logic, and reason.

Hmm...

Personally, I see more evidence for devolution than evolution.

Most mammal and bird species "include intuition, logic, and reason" in greater or lesser amounts. The differences between human intelligence and animal intelligence is primarily in degree, not kind.

If there was some sort of "breaking point" in the rise of analytical intelligence, it was several hundred million years ago in reptilian precursors, not as recently as our hominid ancestors.
