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.
