Looking back a few years from now, however, the extra tenth of a point you were unable to raise your GPA by will seem trivial compared to the opportunities opened by study-abroad. For instance, never again will I advocate U.S. foreign policy towards China to a skeptical bunch of Aussies one day, and bungee-jump over a crocodile-infested pond the next...

"Brains don't expand because they were permitted to do so," he says. "They expand because they were selected"--because they conferred extra reproductive success on their owners, perhaps by allowing them to hunt more effectively than the competition...
