When you get a moment, check out How a Fly Flies, it's a TED talk by Michael Dickinson that talks about how evolved a fly is. Brain size and function has a lot to do with it. It sure does take a lot of energy to run our brains, hopefully we can use them to keep the Chimp insurgence at bay.Surprisingly, even though we have to fuel a massive thinking organ we don’t use more energy than a chimp; whose piddly little brain is only ¼ the size of ours (which will make it more embarrassing when they take over the world).
First of all, I laughed out loud when I read that.
