Recent studies suggest that the brains of birds, reptiles, and mammals evolved separately despite sharing a common ancestor, a phenomenon known as convergent evolution. Researchers, including Fernando Garcia Moreno from the Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience, discuss how these findings highlight that complex brains might have developed multiple times across vertebrate species. This line of research could provide insights into enhancing neural networks and artificial intelligence, opening up new avenues for technological advancements as understanding brain evolution could influence AI design.
