ps- also, i might add, neouroscience is going back to the phrenological model... not in the silly and arbitrary interpretation of cranial shapes of course, but in showing that functions of the brain are locally distributed and more or less developed in individual brains. the visual cortex is in the back, language in the left parietal, motor cortex on the top, etc. and people with injuries in those areas will suffer correspondingly but also people with more development in those areas will show a greater capacity for language/motor skills/ visual perception/ etc. when people tal about "talent" they aren't talking about magical gifts from an invisible man in the sky but rather portions of the brain with above-average functionality.
