Abstract: The topic of intelligence is of perennial interest and the subject of many unanswered questions. If intelligence has been so important in human evolution, for instance, why does it vary so much among people today (at least according to IQ tests)? And is there a unitary trait of general intelligence, g, or is the modular view of the mind a better way of tackling the phenomenon? These and other issues came under debate at a meeting last December.
