Why is early brain development different in humans compared to other primates?
brain development, both in form , pace, same other primates. in third trimester our brains indistinguishable chimpanzee brains, anthropologist jeffrey schwartz found embarrassment when drawn investigation of human fetus found in trash @ hospital. took blood tests verify ape fetus rather human fetus.
differ after birth. neuroscientist terrence deacon points out our bodies grow more typical primate bodies , our brains continue develop longer, leading increased encephalization quotients. typical eq primates 3 - is, brains 3 times large expected in mammals - , ours around 7.
thanks in advance :)
