Why Are Humans Different? Is it because of cooking?
As usual, a materialist explanation. Interesting one, though, except for the silly speculation about gender oppression. This book review from the New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/27/books/27garn.html?pagewanted=all

Learning the joy of living with less
From the New York Times, http://happydays.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/07/the-joy-of-less/?emc=eta1, this article about how little our lives’ happiness depends on ready cash.
The Joy of Less
By PICO IYER“The beat of my heart has grown deeper, more active, and yet more peaceful, and it is as if I were all the time storing up inner riches…My [life] is one long sequence of inner miracles.” The young Dutchwoman Etty Hillesum wrote that in a Nazi transit camp in 1943, on her way to her death at Auschwitz two months later. Towards the end of his life, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen,” though by then he had already lost his father when he was 7, his first wife when she was 20 and his first son, aged 5. In Japan, the late 18th-century poet Issa is celebrated for his delighted, almost child-like celebrations of the natural world. Issa saw four children die in infancy, his wife die in childbirth, and his own body partially paralyzed.
