Still amazing....

Despite the limitations of the male specimen, the human brain is truly an incredible work of art. In fact, if looked at from the point of view of the organism, most brains are pretty spiffy no matter the species. Even Euglena, a protist of somewhat limited capacity, has an "eye spot" that helps it move toward the light so that it can make food. Compared to your average rock, Euglena is Leonardo! (I think daVinci had way more brainpower than Einstein, who was really more of a savant. Leo was a generalist.)
Be good to your brain and it'll be good to you!
