I am so glad to see this list! Although we are intelligent beings, we emerged from the wilderness, molded by eons of Natural Selection. It is naive to think that our intellect is pure, that it has somehow emerged uncolored by our origins. More likely, our minds are highly biased and carefully calibrated toward protecting our own individual survival. This is a list of what makes us humans. Someday humanity might create artificial forms of intelligence, but it will no more resemble our own intelligence than a plane resembles a bird. This is a list of all the mental quirks that define us.
