That said, this problem of causality in the area of neuroscience is endemic to a lot of papers that come across my desk that try to relate a particular brain structure to a type ofbehavior.
Even if the human brain were significantly different in structure and function the basics ofbehavior, action, social living were all evolved and inherited from all other living things.
Yet, scientists and journalists alike are frequently too quick to make sweeping generalizations about the behavior and structureof the brain, often forgetting that the brain is an incredibly complex, interrelated system.
