@134318c2 ok but... if my contention that science is a property of COMMUNITY then it's gotta be more than one kid.  harder to write a story about.  people like to read stories focused on individuals.

reminds me of the story of the birth of israel (Exodus to ...) focused on Moses and a wild god, but in reality probly a subtle development in a society as a whole, but people don't know how to tell THAT kind of story!
