Best Ears In The World

I just thought this story was so inspirational and kind of reminded me of the show "Heroes" only in real life. I tend to think that we get a glimpse into our evolution 10,000 years into the future (if we make it that far) with people like Autistic Savants. The human brain and the human body are capable of doing the most unbelievable and extraordinary things, but almost always because they are highly crippled in some other way. Watch this kid (he is not autistic) who has developed echo location abilities, much like dolphins and bats have. He is also blind since the age of 2. This kid has the most incredibly tuned in pair of ears on the planet. If he ever wanted to be a mix engineer, the rest of us might just hang it up. Enjoy!!

here's a bonus. one of my favorites. Daniel Tammet, a savant, but amazingly not autistic. There's an hour long documentary on him, this is just a 4 minute excerpt. the full documentary is simply beyond belief. This 4 minute clip is also pretty astounding. Like i said, this seems to me that a handful of people on Earth have unlocked the evolution of the human brain and body and are giving us a glimpse of what our distant future as a species might hold. Imagine if everyone could do these things!!!!
