Cannot read handwriting
We may be typing more on PCs and mobile phones, but hardly anyone today writes something with a pen. The days of giving a signature are numbered, with retina, thumb and face scans spreading to all devices.   |||   ⦿3 news australia ⦿3

It has got so bad that more students are doing poorly in the NAPLAN school leaving exam. Success rates have declined over the last five years. It seems children in the early grades of their studies do quite well. However, when learning on computers begins the interest moves to the keyboard. Use of pencils and crayons is abandoned.     ⧗ sex ⧗

There could come a time when arithmetic and handwriting will not be school subjects. Trades people will then be paid higher wages because calculating, measuring and recording will have to be learned in a trade course.     ⧗ or arithmetic handwriting ⧗

The invention of the hand-held calculator was the start of the downward spiral. No checkout operator now can add up purchased items and decide on correct change in their heads, or even on a piece of paper. Since standard English ability was not necessary for university entry, people not capable of correct grammar get degrees. This situation will get worse.  Graduates may not be employable in the future, having no basic skills.

Albert Einstein's Genius Was Due to His Unusual Brain

Albert Einstein wasn't only a genius her was a very odd human being. His brain shows peculiar differences from the norm; it had many more folds than the average person. This gave the brain a greater surface area. It is like using a larger computer to do calculations. Upon his father's death in 1955, Thomas Einstein gave the pathologist permission to preserve the brain of Albert Einstein. It was photographed then dissected into 2,000 ultra-thin slices. The slices and slides of them were later distributed to researchers. The brain had more neurons and glia cells, well outside of the normal range; pariental lobes were unusual in the pattern of ridges and grooves. Einstein only had a brain of average size. The area controlling the tongue and face was larger, as was the region that involves attention and planning. Overall, Einstein's brain was complex. Many people think in words. He said his thinking was like a physical activity. If selection based on "healthy...

Natural History Museum Human Evolution Gallery

 The Human Evolution gallery at Natural History explores the origins of Homo sapiens by tracing our lineage back to when it separated from that of our closest living relatives, the bonobos and chimpanzees. Around 200,000 years ago, Africa was where modern humans developed. They have smaller faces and brow ridges, a chin that is more prominent than that of other ancient humans, and a brain case that is higher and more rounded. Modern human fossils from Israel (around 100,000 years old), Africa (around 195,000 years old), and Australia (around 12,000 years old) are among the casts on display. These fossils demonstrate that typical characteristics of modern humans evolved over time rather than emerging fully formed from Africa. They also suggest that at least two waves of people leaving Africa may have occurred, one about 100,000 years ago and the other about 60,000 years ago. We are all descendants of those who left during that second migration wave outside of Africa. Source: Natural...
