Question

"While a mature gorilla may appear to display practically every anatomical feature in common with humans, we all have one proportionately larger feature in our brains. This is the ______."

Answer 1

Answer:

Cerebral Hemispheres

Explanation:

Aida Gómez-Robles, an anthropologist at The George Washington University, and her colleagues compared the effect of genes on brain size and organization in 218 human and 206 chimpanzee brains. They found that although brain size was highly heritable in both species, the organization of the cerebral cortex—especially in areas involved in higher-order cognition functions—was much less genetically controlled in humans than in chimps. One potential explanation for this difference, according to the researchers, is that because our brains are less developed than those of our primate cousins at birth, it creates a longer period during which we can be molded by our surroundings.
