Merlin Donald gave a talk at MUN yesterday: The Evolution of the Human Mind. It was engaging and erudite and often ten miles over my head but still fascinating. He talked a lot about culture, an issue of prime concern to the N. Q. of course, which he defined as "distributed cognitive systems." Don't be intimidated by the term - by reading this blog or picking up the magazine you become a distributive cognitive network all of your own. Now - don't you feel impressed with yourself?
