1
Our brains are not special, but humans are.
2
Why?
3
Human brains are smart, but they're built the same way as all the other mammalian brains, from mice to whales.
4
In fact, our human neurons are so similar to rats' neurons, they can fit right into their brains.
5
What we do have is a lot of neurons for our body size, like a supercharged V8 engine squeezed into a hatchback.
6
That's what evolution did with our heads.
7
Humans make full use of that advantage to get the most thinking neurons possible on board.
8
There are bigger brains with even more neurons like in elephants.
9
They have three times more neurons than us, but 97 .5 % of those neurons are simply needed to handle their large bodies.
10
We get to use our neurons for thinking instead.
11
So our intelligence is simply the result of having a lot more thinking power.
12
A resource we've learned to use well, But nothing more special.
13
That's both fascinating and humbling.
