The Myth of Human "Intelligence"
Humans have the disadvantage of a limited brain size. They partially compensate for this deficiency by
having different people specialize in different areas of expertise. For example, some humans may
become doctors and some doctors may specialize in surgery or dermatology. When the decision is
made as to which profession a human may specialize in, how logical is their method of selection.
Dermatology: Dermatologists have the advantage that their patients rarely have an "emergency." As a
result, many doctors want to specialize in dermatology. How does the speciality prevent too many
doctors from entering into the dermatology specialty? They require higher school grades. Is this
sensible? Shouldn't dermatologists take a test that shows that they have a good "bedside manner" with
teenagers, who will frequent their clinics?
As to surgeons, we know that human females are good at fine motor coordination such as sewing and
knitting whereas human males tend to exceed at larger range motions such as found in tossing spears
in hunting or swinging a bat in baseball. So are there any tests given for the type of manual dexterity
needed in surgery? The passing of such exams is not required to become a surgeon.
Do humans employ logic? Only occasionally.
