There is a
fascinating report in the journal Science which comes from a study out of Duke.
According to the research, higher social skills are uniquely human. Toddlers
have more sophisticated social learning skills than this innate proficiency,
which is important for learning. It also allows them to excel in both physical
and social skills as they progress through life. Two and a half year-old
children were compared with chimps and orangutans. It’s interesting, all three
groups scored about the same in spatial relations and cause-and-effect, but in
social skills, obviously, the humans had the edge.
We always
appreciate your comments.
