The Human Brain and Animal Brain.

biological problems. Compare the
appearance presented by the human
head cut in two in the middle and that
of the head of chimpanzee which has
been prepared in the same manner.
Then compare the brain of child al
birth, as seen from the side, with the
brain OF q young chimpanzee. Upon
comparison of these two aspects OF the
divided brains, the resemblances are
seen to be very much more numerous
and significant than the differences.
Indeed, the differences are insignifi.
cant; the Resemblance are startling.
Nobody has yet succeeded in defining
what it is that constitutes the human
brain as different from the brain oil
any other animal. We may recognize
it. Any skilled anatomist would re-
cognize the human from the animal
brain; but that is very different
thing from formulating the differences,
and that is what we aim at. 1t is one
OF the objects for the remainder of my
life to be able to say in. words what 4
is that differentiates our brain from
the brain of other animals.-Arena.
