Because human life is so miserable in humid, unrelenting equatorial heat, everyone uses drugs, drugs to help escape the heat, the misery, to make time go by....British neurobiologist Martin Wells, the grandson of H.G. , once observed that human thinking is best done at "sweater" temperatures--in other words, if it is cool enough to require a sweater, as is the case in older British households....The sum total of great intellectual insights and contributions coming from the extreme tropics is scant indeed, as are the products of prodigious human industry in such places.
