I should update this profile. But then why should anyone care who I am?

Fascinating indeed, but in my opinion, here is the better pull quote. This isn't about humans and should not centre us.
Quote from linked article on medicalxpress dot com:

Finally, the researchers looked back over 550 million years of evolutionary time. They found the same two-origin brain pattern in chickens, zebrafish and, remarkably, acorn worms, tiny creatures living on the ocean floor that share a distant common ancestor with humans. Jellyfish, which diverged from humans about 600–700 million years ago, have two nervous systems at different ends of their bodies.

"Our research suggests that evolution took two existing neural systems and pushed them together spatially," Loh said. "Having the brain as one organ would probably be more efficient, but we rely on this primordial way to make the brain as two separate pieces."

I whimsically made some art last night, and decided that I like it. The title "Goblins' Secret" seems apt.
An abstract, kaleidoscopic composition, fully symmetric vertically and partially symmetric horizontally, featuring a complex interplay of colourful, textured shapes that blend from organic to crystalline to something resembling a laser light show as the eye moves from the periphery of the to a central horizontal cavity. The overall effect is like a hidden treasure within a mysterious enchanted forest.

@lynne-kelly-42.bsky.social I've just tried to summarise The Knowledge Gene in a Youtube comment, replying to a video titled "The Origins Of Language", by History with Kayleigh. A screenshot of my comment is attached, I hope my summary is satisfactory!
