- ekelsen 4mo agoI would argue that not having any overlap between generations is a bigger problem. It guarantees no accumulation of knowledge.
- fhdkweig 4mo agoAgreed. If they were social enough to form large communities of unrelated families, it would also fix the generation overlap. But they don't do that either. They seem to be in a weird evolutionary dead end for intelligence.
