One question that begs to be addressed when one considers evolution or God is the question of savants. Whether we talk about extreme and unlearned ability that originates in an otherwise normal child, or whether we talk about one or more abilities present in children clearly limited in many or most ways--the puzzlement is the same: What is this all about? Do they draw on a power present in all brains of homo sapiens? Or has genetics changed their neural make-up? What is a 5 year old mathematician tapping into when she does square roots in her head?
