People are amazing creatures. Our brain uses up to 25% of all the energy that our body needs daily. For a relatively short period of evolution, its size increased significantly, allowing us to leave our ancestors, anthropoid monkeys, behind. So, it means that the human brain can be called special? But not. Suzan Hurkulano-Huzel is trying to prove that the size of our brain is not so important. Only the cerebral cortex and the number of neurons are important. All this happened thanks to the invention of our ancestors of the approximate way of obtaining calories: cooking. The consumption of more calories over a small period of time allowed our brain to get a large number of neurons in the still rather small cortex of the brain, which is responsible for the search for patterns, reasoning and development of technology. This is an original view of how in the process of becoming an outstanding there was nothing special
