An Orange-Sized Brain.
I do not know how much front page news in the Wall Street Journal gets reported on TikTok but I am reading a super-interesting article about homo naledi.
Basically, it is about paleontology, which isn’t my usual beat, but homo naledi, a relative of homo erectus and homo neanderthalensis, had a brain the size of an orange but still displayed the cultural traits of its bigger-brained relatives. We have brains shaped like walnuts the size of a pineapple.
If homo naledi was alive today, I am sure they would all be big fans of Guy Fieri.
The artist’s reconstruction of homo naledi on the front page of the Wall Street Journal looks like Shugee.
Frickin’ Shugee. He acts like he as a brain the size of a walnut. A dog’s brain is the size of a walnut, and Shugee, well Shugee… the less said the better. We are all God’s children.
A chimpanzee’s brain is the size of an orange.
Hold on a moment. Python Lady wants to talk to me about something important. It always is.
