Consider: millions of years ago our antecedents gave a massive sacrifice of their left hemisphere. We lost a tremendous amount of short term memory and replaced it with Broca’s, Wernicke & the phonological loop. But why? So we can—talk. Thus chimpanzees can do this—we can’t:pic.twitter.com/CDznxg37p1

Kim and his father, Fran, were the guest speakers for a teacher workshop I attended in 2000. I must say, that reading about Kim's phenomenal memory/skills was one thing, but witnessing them in person was absolutely incredible, to say the least. He was a fascinating human.

Wow!! I’ve always been fascinated with anyone and everyone with savant-esque abilities. A friend of mine had a college professor who could write forward with his left and, backward with his right hand, and make the complete sentence meet perfectly in the middle.

So could a chimp have an opposite mutation and... talk?
