What sort of experiment or set of experiments should be done to determine once and for all if humans are unique to all other species in the animal kingdom? Can we trust researchers to do such an important experiment? As the resultant will either shake the core of human existence or bolster the already ego-centric ways of the species.

Will the researchers be so narrowly focused to insure that their data proves themselves right? Will they disregard data to the contrary and instead work to follow their personal religious belief systems? Well such a study is indeed about to take place with some members of a Think Tank. And one researcher when asked about the focus of the experiment stated that;

This is not to say the experiment would not lend itself to new discoveries along the way. Those determinations would be directly attributed to the management of the procedure. I myself prefer to compile interchangeable data sets wherever possible as a means to encourage further expansion.

Good as that is the right attitude and best policy. I personally cannot tell you how many times we have altered our mobile car wash trucks in our company before I retired to do various tasks only to find out they were perfectly designed for another, which was even more profitable and with a few refinements even another even more profitable than the later.

And in designing our point of purchase system all synced up to our online scheduling, billing and appointment system, sure we had feature creep and problems along the way, and it took a little longer than expected, but Wow. In the end we won. Winning is paramount of course. The goal is to win.

Winning in this experiment is to answer the question leaving no doubt in the mind of the reader of your research. It can be done and so it should be done and like you elude to done right the first time. You really do not get second chances in the Publish or Perish world of academia, as if you mess up your name remains Mud for far too long.

So the experiment will take place and it will be honest and forthright and in the end we will determine if humans are unique to the rest of the animal kingdom or if we are merely just another animal and this should prove to be rather interesting indeed. Be thinking on this in 2006.
