The distinctions drawn by Vaesen are plausible when we are comparing chimpanzees and human beings somewhere between the middle Paleolithic and the Neolithic. But since then new kinds of organization have vastly outstripped these neurological differences to account for the enormous advancement of human technology - from cuneiform to the iPhone - leaving our remarkable evolutionary cousins far behind.
当我们将中更新世到新石器时代的黑猩猩和人类进行比较时，Vaesen 所做出的区分是合理的。但自那时以来，新的组织形式已经大大超越了这些神经学差异，从而解释了人类技术的巨大进步——从楔形文字到 iPhone，使我们杰出的进化近亲远远落后。
