Document Summary
Association areas of cortex are more recent evolutionary developments: the emergence of the mind correlates best with the expansion of the frontal cortex. The nervous systems of different species evolve from common ancestors, therefore they may have common mechanisms: many behavioural traits are highly specialized for the environment (niche) a species normally occupies. Sheep brains are large, accessible, have many of the same structures, and cost less. Observation cannot be accepted unless it can be replicated. Often enough to rule out chance: interpretation. Based on knowledge (or lack thereof) and preconceived notions: verification. Like replication but by other scientists using the same protocols. Not be able to verify a result is not a bad thing, it leas to further refinement of the. Animals: renewable natural resources interpretation: in the us, <1% of the number killed for food alone are used for biomedical research. The more basic the process under investigation, the more distinct the evolutionary relationship with humans.
