Now we could be linking into the theory that a superior intelligence tweaked the earth's inhabitants for some reason -- to accelerate development; or maybe even a twisted entertainment -- the same thing that has brought us the labradoodle and the pekipoo -- that will result in this hate and discontent, so they get to watch how efficiently we destroy one another.

Is there an evolutionary theory as to why that area of the brain could have developed differently?


ETA: I know this is a shitty Wiki link, but good for people, like me, who until this day, had zero idea there is any such thing as a Caudate Nuclei.

"The caudate nucleus is one of the structures that make up the corpus striatum, which is a component of the basal ganglia.[1] While the caudate nucleus has long been associated with motor processes due to its role in Parkinson's disease,[2][clarification needed][3] it plays important roles in various other nonmotor functions as well, including procedural learning,[4] associative learning[5] and inhibitory control of action,[6] among other functions. The caudate is also one of the brain structures which compose the reward system and functions as part of the cortico–basal ganglia–thalamic loop.[1]"
