| Sep 26, 2018 at 16:56 | comment | added | JBH | @MichaelW., I'm amused by an image of lifting a branch to spook a Gecko sitting behind it only to find it calmly looking at you with a "you dumb monkey, I saw you coming... I saw you when you ate breakfast this morning" look on its face. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 15:14 | comment | added | Michael W. | The comparison to strength is a good one, I think. Genes don't tell you how strong you are, but do tell you your maximum strength. Same with intelligence. Nothing surprises this gecko; he's run into everything! You might call him the perfect gecko. But he'll always have intelligence within gecko limits. | |

| Sep 26, 2018 at 3:02 | comment | added | forest | Let's just agree to agree then. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 2:31 | comment | added | JBH | @SRM, I specifically state in my answer, "less developed based on the evolutionary pressures constantly acting on the species." The three of us seem to be in violent agreement. | |
| Sep 25, 2018 at 23:33 | comment | added | SRM | @forest is right. The only way the human is less developed is if the environment has continued to become more complex. | |
| Sep 25, 2018 at 4:59 | comment | added | forest | The immortal human would not be "less developed". They would just be not as adapted to the current environment. | |
