Dr. Paabo and Dr. Khaitovich, in their findings published in Genome Research, point out that what makes Homo sapiens different from other species is the presence of unique DNA expression patterns in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, locus of abstract reasoning and social behavior. Contextually, continually evolving with our unique humanness, means that we must create situations for Homo sapiens brains where they can stretch their reasoning abilities and social skills. Progressive schools that do so with the 'right mix' of socialization and reasoning are ahead of their times in engaging their students in 'life changing' evolutionary processes.
