Description

I discuss how we did not evolve from lizards, and therefore do not have a lizard brain with a primate brain build on top of it. Instead, we share a common ancestor with lizards known as amniotes. This lizard-primate brain theory is known as the Triune Brain Theory and has since been debunked. 00:00:00 Preface / Intro 00:04:20 My Thought Process / How I Was Taught 00:19:22 Theory of Evolution / Evolutionary Chart 00:39:40 Final Thoughts Channel Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/@EphemeralRift/playlists Websites https://ephemeralrift.com https://thalmultaria.net Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/6WJUD0ljiIwxmbEzpb4onm iTunes https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ephemeral-rift/602599265 Photography Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ephemeral.rift/ Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/ephemeralrift/ Socials Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ephemeral.rift2/ Twitter https://twitter.com/ephemeralrift1 Blue Sky https://bsky.app/profile/ephemeralrift1.bsky.social
