How is the sheep's brain similar and different from a human's brain?
a human brain has a larger cerebrum a humans brain has more convolutions they both have the same parts(spinal cord,cerebrum,and cerebellum)
Would you expect the cerebrum of a bird to be more or less developed relative to its size then the cerebrum of a human?
A larger and more developed cerebrum gave humans the ability to reason and plan out our lives. In order to survive, humans needed an advantage. Animals have physical advantages, such as speed, strength, or camoflauge. Humans have mental advantages; they needed the ability to logically think through things. For this, humans need a larger cerebrum.
Why are vertebrates larger than invertebrates?
of all the living things in the world 96% are invertebrates
Sheep brain vs human brain?
The human brain is larger. The positioning of the hind brain is different, due to the erect position of humans. Convolutions are increased in humans (increases surface area). The sheep's brain has a smaller cerebellum (lesser motor control/less complex learned motor behaviors). There is a larger pineal gland in sheep (related to circadian rhythms/seasonal reproduction).

A Neanderthal mans brain was larger than modern man?
It is true that Neanderthals had larger brains on average than modern humans. However, brain size alone does not necessarily equate to intelligence. Modern humans have developed different cognitive abilities that have enabled them to survive and thrive.
Does a monkey have a backbone?
Yes, chimpanzees have backbones. Chimpanzees are one of the great apes, just like humans. The great apes and all other mammals are part of a larger group called vertebrates. The defining feature of a vertebrate is that it has a backbone.
Why are vertebrates able to grow larger than invertebrates?
Vertebrates have an internal skeleton and invertebrates have external skeletons. Vertebrates are able to grow larger than invertebrates because of this. Invertebrates would crush themselves under their own skeletons if they grew to a large size.
Contribution of technology to man development?
Without technology, humans would not have evolved into what we've become. To primitive man, fire was the technology that was most important. As humans developed and learned to use tools and farm, a larger population was able to be supported. As time moved on, technologies improved,and an even larger population could be sustained. Improving on technologies as humans have evolved is the key to survival of the species.
What is the larger proportion of the brain devoted to as we move from lower to higher animals?
When going from lower to higher animals a larger proportion of the brain is devoted to the cerebrum. The brain stem is made up of medulla and the cerebellum.
What is the differenc in human vs sheep brain dealing with the ponsmedulla?
The human pons is larger (pons serves as a bridge of communication between cerebellum and cerebrum) The sheep medulla is larger (Medulla controls vital functions (breathing and heart beat))
