Neil degrasse Tyson: Alien vs. Human Intelligence.
- barredo 16y agoSo, we are 1% dna-different from chimpanzees (as said in the first half) or 1% smarter (second half)? Or both? Because I think he unintentionally messed terms there.
- NickPollard 16y ago1% dna different. The point he makes is that 1% dna difference produces a vast difference (by our measures) in intelligence, so that any Alien life (which we'd expect to be vastly different in dna) is likely to be either vastly superior or inferior to us in intelligence, meaning either way someone is going to look awfully stupid.
