Ridiculous. Humans live in the Antarctic. very few other
animals can live in the Antarctic, most of the animals that
live in the Antarctic have specific adaptations for living in
the Antarctic.

The difference is that humans have
TECHNOLOGY. This enables them to
live in all sorts of places. The technology
of the !Kung may not be as obvious as
that of the humans in Antarctic, but it's
still as crucial to their survival in such
an otherwise inhospitable environment.

How can a supposedly intelligent person
not be aware that humans have
technology? And that this makes them
a tad different from other species?
