Well, even a super genius like Isaac Newton was a human being and almost all
his genes were identical to yours or mine, but the tiny amount that was
different must be crucial for if the average Joe was as smart as him it
would be a very different world. It must be admitted however that from
evolution's point of view the man was a failure as he had no children; but
to hell with evolution, it has its opinion and I have mine.
