Why Did A Brain Like Yours Evolve? Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Why Did A Brain Like Yours Evolve?



It is common to assume
that brains evolved
in some kind of
upward progression.

Brains evolved
from lower animals
to higher animals,
with the most sophisticated,
thinking brain of all,
the human brain,
at the top.

(Indebted to the
thinking of Lisa Feldman Barrett)
