Are We Human? Part 2

A few weeks ago I posted a video from TED showing the human-like Bonobo’s behavior under the title Are We Human?.   The post raised a discussion about the differences between our species and others species learning abilities.

Daphna (My sister) sent me today the following a very short movie, showing how our tendency to copy from adults causes us to think less creatively (and actually makes us look more stupid than the apes).

Which is better? Copying or learning ? not sure.

It relates also to the following issue – does our education system (at home and at school) kill creativity ? If you are not sure of the answer and if you haven’t watched Sir Ken Robinson talk about Changing Education Paradigms, then this is the time to watch it.
