This is so, well, mean.  A mentally retarded person, who is blind and deaf would most likely be in a home of some sort.  There would be ways of communication.  \n\nAnd it is most likely that this person is not mentally retarded, but is called "dumb" because of the lack of formal education that is suited to his needs.  There is a special form of sign language that is used for people who are both deaf and blind.

Mental retardation is not judged in the way you suggest.  If it were, one would wonder about the majority of questions and answers on this site.  Additionally, to qualify as  "legally retarded" one would have to have an IQ below 70 and/or be in the bottom 2.5 percent of the population.  I don't know if you have ever flown a high-performance aircraft before, but I can tell you that a retarded person cannot do this.  GW has actually done this, despite what you might want to say about him missing Air National Guard drills, he had to pass through flight school.\n\n\nI also don't think that Phillips Academy, Yale or Harvard have ever graduated anyone with an IQ below 70, even though they may have accepted folks with less than average intelligence at times in exchange for nice endowments.  Please, it is such an easy target to pick on GW.  Show a little originality to vent your spleen!

A diagnosis of mental retardation requires that a person's IQ test below 70 points and the person must have dysfunction in at least two areas of adaptive behavior.  Adaptive behavior include things like language/communication, social skills, daily living skills etc.\nIntelligence is arguably an arbitrary social construct, but the word exists in the medical and school fields to help identify people who need extra help learning and functioning (i.e. adapting). It's equivalent to "slow".

No you are not retarded.  You would be quite surprised to learn how many people in the world think that at least once every day.  Just be you and if the rest of the world thinks its wrong oh well ...Everyone is created different for a reason.  I send a big hug in hopes this answer cheers you up.

Mental retardation caused by inbreeding.

Well, depending on what kind of "mentally challenged" you mean, the answer could be yes or no.\n\nThere are several kinds of neurological disorders that result in a brain that is simply differently wired, with IQs in the normal range or higher. Because the brain is extremely adaptable, it will often compensate for deficits in one area by making other areas work more efficiently. That's why a blind person often has very good hearing: He doesn't have any visual input to process; so his brain specializes on the next most informative sense: Hearing.\n\nSome disorders are like that. ADHD is associated with originality; autism with very good visual-spatial skills; bipolar disorder with creative talent, especially in the arts. So people with these disorders are also more likely to have talents that people without them don't have. People with these disorders look at them as mixed blessings, or even as gifts.\n\nI don't know what it's like to be anyone but myself; so I don't know which disorders other than my own (Asperger Syndrome, a mild form of autism) fit into the category I just described. And I do consider AS to be a gift, in some ways. I'm socially clumsy, and I can't tolerate some sensory input; but I also have very good logical reasoning skills, I approach problems in original ways, and I have quite a lot of talents in my areas of special interest.\n\nBut all in all, people with psychological, neurological, or biological isorders that affect their mental functioning have one big problem: They are square pegs trying to fit into round holes. They are not the majority; so the world is not designed for them. It could be prejudice or the need for accomodations or some aspect of the disorder itself; but being ill-suited for the world you live in can be a difficult thing. Even your talents may not be the sort of thing the world is looking for.\n\nRegarding people with low IQs and severe disorders with no positive aspects. Individual personalities may indeed make them feel superior to others, just as neurologically average people may feel superior to people in general, whether their IQs are higher or lower than their own; but that seems to be a personality trait unconnected to any disorder.\n\nFrom what I can tell, all but the most profoundly affected are aware that they are different; but in a loving family, with good support and the accomodations they need to live in the world, they need not feel inferior or unwanted. These folks have the same goal that any of us have--the pursuit of happiness, in whatever form that takes for them; and why should a happy life ever be called an inferior one?

I would have to say no. I however recommend checking it up on Encarta, and Infoplease. If I recall those animals came later, yet my memory is not great with times.

If you believe in divine beings and saviours then anything's possible. But you'd have to ask why, as it wouldn't be perhaps the most efficient way to for a deity to communicate to a mass of people as animals are not known for their speaking or writing skills. Imagine the problems as an ant for instance. I suppose a parrot has the necessary vocal tract to make intelligible speech and a monkey could hold a pen or work a keyboard, but even then you're starting from a low base. Of course you would get more TV coverage because of the novelty value, so  I suppose the message might be gotten over more efficiently that way.

I would have to say porpoises/dolphins...\nAccording to this article, they are smarter than chimps and possibly as intelligent as man...\nhttp://www.amusingfacts.com/facts/Detail/smart-porpoise.html\n\nAlso see:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin_brain\nhttp://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/D/dolphins.html\nhttp://www.wdcs.org/dan/publishing.nsf/allnews/239F297BE9A133F380256FC700323B80\nhttp://whales7.tripod.com/policies/levasseur/levass2f.html

I'm assuming that you don't mean dumb in a bad or derogatory way. If you mean dumb as in mute, there are children who are born mute. And if you mean dumb as in lacking in mental capacity, there are birth defects like retardation.

no such - the phrase can be found as - advanced mammal like reptile or advanced mammal studies\n\nbut since it is homework then your teacher is probably looking for something like HUMAN as in an advanced ( on an evolutionary scale ) mammal ( teachers can be wrong too )
