Question

Why did the brain name itself? 100 points

Answer 1

The human brain did not “give itself” the name “brain”. A network of brains (i.e. society) agreed over time on calling the gray think-tank in our skulls a “brain”. Different networks in other environments agreed on other terms to label the same object. Over time these networks evolved, constantly creating slightly-tweaked yet new names, based contextually on what they were already calling other objects (these constitute what we know as linguistic relationships).
