@newscientist: How our brain shape gave Homo sapiens an edge 🧠   Neanderthals had brains just as large as ours, but there was one key difference: their shape.   While modern human brains are rounder, Neanderthal brains were longer and flatter. Some researchers believe this difference may have influenced abilities like memory, attention, self-awareness and tool use.   But was brain shape really the secret to our species’ survival? Or was our success down to a combination of smaller evolutionary advantages?   Tap link in bio to find out more   #ancienthumans #brains

Maybe the fact that we are mean to each other and this constant bickering gave us an evolutionary edge on survival.
