Nelson's been talking to Mother Nature. Nelson is a close friend fighting a hard battle against a deadly disease. He's been having a series of very frank conversations with Mother Nature about, well, just about everything, from the origins of the universe to evolution to how and where homo sapiens fits into the natural order.

It turns out we humans as a species don't – fit in to the natural order, that is.

Did I mention that Nelson happens to be a retire neurosurgeon? Suffice it to say, Nelson knows as much about brains and how they work as anybody else walking on two legs.

But what we've been talking about lately is not why the human brain is so efficient or amazing but why it's so unpredictable, why we manifest such a vast array of psychological disorders, and why, for example, we alone kill for pleasure or motives that are simply too perverse for "normal" folks to sort out.
