    The first sentence in “Evolution and the Primitive Brain of a Newborn” chapter about Lucy and when I read this chapter‚ it was the anniversary of Lucy’s discovery and I found that convenient. In any case‚ as I read‚ I noticed how this chapter is talking about how unfinished humans are when we’re born; our brains aren’t even half developed as most other animals are.
