Okay, so Fernando, we're talking about how your study found that bird and mammal brains develop like through different processes. And so you're looking at these palliums of birds, reptiles, and mammals. And what did you find?

Let's go back into like how this evolutionary structure happened. Like what does the study show you?

Wow. And then we were talking about this idea of, you know, these brains are different, but they're kind of doing similar things, this idea of convergent evolution. So, like, what is the process called convergent evolution?

If your studies are kind of pointing towards the development of brains being convergent evolution, why is that significant to the understanding of how our brains work?

Yeah, and some birds can talk. Some birds can use tools.

Yeah, I mean, I find it fascinating. You're basically saying that, like, even though bird brains are different, the neurons are in different places, they're doing different things, they developed in different ways, they can still do similar tasks.

But you're saying they're doing that and their intelligence is not the same intelligence we have.

And I know that you didn't study humans, but I'm curious if you think like this research can tell us anything about whether there's something special about like the way the human brain developed.
