On the other hand, throw a perfectly successful jungle inhabitant into the middle of Harvard and he might also fare rather badly.

To the contrary, I think the denizens of Harvard might fare badly, not the perfectly successful jungle inhabitant. Professors got nothing on panthers.




That's what I said: the professor will get eaten in the jungle, the junge inhabitant will get run over by a car in the city.

Obviously IQ tests measure something: at the very least, they measure performance on IQ tests. The controversy starts when people claim to measure "intelligence".

Might be fun to design a "jungle IQ test".
