EQUAL BRAIN SIZE
In the table below all of the animals now have the same brain sizes. What happens now??? If we make all brain sizes equal, will we see any difference between the animals? Remember we are not concerned with body size anymore because we have controlled for body size and now simply made all brains the same size. Does this mean that from now on these animals would act the same, walk the same, eat the same things, behave the same ways?
Human
Baboon
Monkey
Camel
Dolphin
Kangaroo
Cat
Raccoon
Rabbit
Squirrel
Frog
Do you notice any differences now that size is equal??
No, not really... they're all the same to me
Yes- I see some differences
Huh? Can we start over?
