Academic wishful thinking at its best: >>However, other scientists believe evolutionary pressures are still taking their toll on humanity, despite the protection afforded by Western life. For example, the biologist Christopher Wills, of the University of California, San Diego, argues that ideas are now driving our evolution. 'There is a premium on sharpness of mind and the ability to accumulate money. Such people tend to have more children and have a better chance of survival,' he says. In other words, intellect - the defining characteristic of our species - is still driving our evolution.<<

Diggestion so far. Pregastric Digestion: Inventory write down and write off Message: No visibility, or, Has visibility but future "challenging". Sacking employees. The Stomach: Writeoff good will. (NOTE: The liver is the largest gland in the body and performs an astonishingly large number of tasks that impact all body systems. One consequence of this complexity is that hepatic disease has widespread effects on virtually all other organ systems. The liver: Fiddling with accounts come to the public view, Bankruptcies. Firing the CFO. More sackings of employees. The Pancreas: Here Li-Ka Shing brokes down macromolecular nutrients - proteins, fats and starch - must be broken down much further before their constitutents can be absorbed through the mucosa into blood and buy assets on the cheap. Concomitant to that, acid must be quickly and efficiently neutralized to prevent damage to the duodenal mucosa, so the US government put up this show of subpoening Enron officers to avoid (or better limit) further damage to the system. That's the stage we are in. Next, food will enter the large and the small intestines. Lets keep watching the digestive systyem working.
