Default Re: Primitive Primate's Brain Built

"From their model, the researchers saw that the early primate had very large olfactory lobes, meaning that "it is a very smell-oriented animal," said Bloch. In contrast, it had small temporal lobes indicating it was not sight-oriented, he adds. "So we can see, with the first stages of primate evolution, primates had relatively small brains and were specialized for smelling rather than focused on visualizing."



I smell, therefore I am. Haw!
