>>12643337If you look at the eyes of (I think, not gonna google it) squids, they dont have blindspots in their vision. Humans do have blindspots. Why did humans evolve in a way with blindspots? Because evolution isn't "perfect".
Why did humans go the big head route instead of the smaller neuron and greater neuronal and synaptic density route? Probably a similar "imperfection". Probably it was more likely to evolve bigger brains than it was to evolve smaller neurons. Why? Probably it would require several mutations to occur at the same time to go from big neurons to small, with each single mutation being negative without all the others. This is the kind of idea that led to multiple antivirals being used for HIV patients. Typically HIV cant mutate resistance to all of the retrovirals in one go. Or mutating resistance for one antiviral increases its susceptibility to other antivirals.
I can't be bothered to write more cause I don't know if im replying to a crank or not
