One thing that separates human beings from any other species is our extraordinary ability to learn. From the moment we first walked the Earth, we quickly realized the only defense against tooth and claw was to be one step ahead of predator or prey.

For hundreds of generations, this practical knowledge was passed down, resulting in a species that today controls the destiny of our planet. But are we now in danger of failing our Children?
