Abstract
If Adam and Eve were not the first evaluators of intelligence, who were? Did they compare their sons and believe one more intelligent than the other? Perhaps Adam thought Cain was the most intelligent, while Eve knew Abel was the brighter. If so, both may have been correct depending on their personal definitions of intelligence. What do we mean when we say a person is more or less intelligent? Today the concept of intelligence has both lay and professional meanings. We must define what intelligence is before we can discuss it.
