Note, however, that were we to genetically or otherwise remove what we think this to be, I'd still hold out for the existence of religions - but they might indeed be a good deal less spiritual than they are today ;<) and thus might not pass muster for those who require "religion" to apply to more spiritual belief systems than I do. People seem to get just as passionate over economic, political and even some scientific theories as they do religion. Maybe they wouldn't without that region of the brain. I wonder if we'd survive that? Richard
