Interesting. So, the human brain is the scaled-up monkey brain with significant architectural changes.

Implies intelligent design

I think its rather some mutations that produced more reelin and created the most successful animal in earth's history

I'd really rather liked it if that supposedly "intelligent" designer took a bit more time at designing the urogenital tract of human males.

The most successful animal by what metric?

menno-dot-ai 3 hours ago | parent | next [-]

Tetris high scores, obviously

The most successful at communicating their view that they are the most successful. Whether they are or not. But that means they are. By that metric.

Has another animal proposed they are more successful by a different metric?

Crickets?

Really interesting article though. I’m very hopeful AI can help work out how all these things interact.
