Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that causes irritation and swelling.
It also inflates till it touches your skull and then it causes brain damage that will eventually kill you.

Encephalization is the word for an animal who's brain mass is larger than it's body. Animal's with Encephalization are usually also more intelligent.
The proboscis monkey as i has an encephalization quotient (brain to body mass ratio adjusted for body mass) that is near the bottom.

Brain to body mass ratio is called the Encephalization Quotient. Humans have the highest EQ, followed by dolphins. If you weigh 100 lbs (small person) and you have a 3 lb brain (typical) your EQ is 3%. However, maybe certain species of shrews have the highest EQ of all, with about 10% of their body weight devoted to their brains. So....Which is smarter, Shrew or You?
Neanderthals are an extinct species of human that lived in Europe and Asia approximately 40,000 years ago. They had brains that were comparable in size to modern humans, but their brain structure and organization likely differed. It is not possible to provide a specific numerical value for their EQ (encephalization quotient), which is a measure of brain size relative to body size, as it would be an estimation based on available fossil evidence.
This question HAS been answered. Bipedality preceded encephalization by many millions of years. (This presumes you are using "hominid" synonymously with "hominin", the latter being the term now in general use and referring to bipedal apes, i.e., Hpmo sapiens and our bipedal forebears. "Hominid" refers to all the other, nonbipedal great apes, i.e., Chimp, Gorilla, Baboon and Orangutan.)The members of the genus Australopithecus, including "Lucy" (A. afarensis), extant between four and two million years ago, were bipedal but with brain size no greater than 450 cc, the size of a Chimp brain today.The specimen Sehelanthropus tchadensis, dated at 6.5 million years ago and almost certainly bipedal, had a brain size of about 350 cc.The first appreciable increase in brain size comes at about 1.9 million years ago with Homo erectus, specimens found in Tanzania and Kenya.Jay Greene, Communications CoordinatorInstitute of Human Origins
We are humans (Homo sapiens), a member of the taxonomic order primates. In the order primates there are two main sub-orders: strepsirrhini (lemurs, lorises and bush-babies) and haplorhini (tarsiers, monkeys, apes and humans). We are all members of the same order based on certain synapomorphies (i.e., shared, derived traits) that distinguish us from other mammals, which is referred to as the 'primate pattern'. Some of these traits include: forward-facing eyes with stereoscopic vision, grasping hands and feet with opposable halluces and nails instead of claws, larger encephalization than other mammals, a long period of infant dependency and a tendency to give birth to singletons instead of litters, and so forth. As humans, we belonging to the suborder haplorhini. We certainly aren't monkeys as the last poster noted, nor did we 'evolve' from monkeys. Rather, share a last common ancestor with these other priamtes in our distant evolutionary past. The living apes (i.e., Hylobates, Pongo, Gorilla and Pan) shared a LCA with the lineage leading to our own genus at ~ 14, 7, 4 and 2 Mya, respectively.
Paleontologist say that they where one of the most smartest dinosaurs that ever lived,they measure this by comparing the size of their cranial capacity to the size of thevelociraptors body.
At the time when man first got fire The first fire was made by the historious people as you saw in night at the museum. Fire was used for cooking many things like meat and roast vegetables
People formed on Earth through the process of evolution, starting from single-celled organisms over millions of years. Through natural selection and adaptation, organisms gradually developed into more complex life forms, eventually leading to the emergence of early humans.
