Episode #33 Wise Man?

from Science & You Hosted by Dr. Michael Windheuser, Ph.D.

The two-word scientific classification for humans is Homo sapiens, which literally means wise or knowing man. But have we named ourselves wisely? Surely we know a lot of information and we are intelligent, but is intelligence the same as wisdom? Uplook Magazine, May-June 2007, p.4. References: B. Sterling, "Homo sapiens declared extinct," Nature, vol. 402, 1999, 125.
