Alan Hooper spoke at length about genetics etc. in the Genius 2000 Video footage I shot of him. He spoke about people trying to figure out humans by finding traits in other species to explain our own. He called it nonsense and I agreed but there just wasn't room enough to go into it in depth on the video. Essentially he summed it up by saying "things like the greenhouse effect are real." This is all in the Transcripts at http://www.geocities.com/genius-2000/Transcripts.html He also said that human genius is really a trait nearly universal in distribution, and our current system fucks everything up.
