Now what I find fascinating about these examples is how they're actually tapping into our primate instincts.
That actually for a given body mass of a primate the metabolic rate was static.
Every primate group has one alpha male, one alpha female, not more than that, there's only one.
So what we find is that high-power alpha males in primate hierarchies have high testosterone and low cortisol, and powerful and effective leaders also have high testosterone and low cortisol.
So we know that in primate hierarchies, if an alpha needs to take over, if an individual needs to take over an alpha role sort of suddenly, within a few days, that individual's testosterone has gone up significantly and his cortisol has dropped significantly.
And as a good primate, she even tries to cheat before she gets the right answer.
Actually any primate will do that.
That's the exact first moment a brain intention was liberated from the physical domains of a body of a primate and could act outside, in that outside world, just by controlling an artificial device.
As fast as we can reset our computers, the brain activity shifts to start representing this new tool, as if this too was a part of that primate's body.
And we had a robotic device, a humanoid robot, in Kyoto, Japan at ATR Laboratories that was dreaming its entire life to be controlled by a brain, a human brain, or a primate brain.
This is CB1 fulfilling its dream in Japan under the control of the brain activity of a primate.
But primate brains gain neurons without the average neuron becoming any larger, which is a very economical way to add neurons to your brain.
The result is that a primate brain will always have more neurons than a rodent brain of the same size, and the larger the brain, the larger this difference will be.
And there, if you do the math, you find that a generic primate with 86 billion neurons would have a brain of about 1.2 kilos, which seems just right, in a body of some 66 kilos, which in my case is exactly right, which brings us to a very unsurprising but still incredibly important conclusion: I am a primate.
His brain, like ours, was made in the image of other primate brains.
It is just a large primate brain.
We calculated on the one hand how much energy a primate gets per day from eating raw foods, and on the other hand, how much energy a body of a certain size costs and how much energy a brain of a certain number of neurons costs, and we looked for the combinations of body size and number of brain neurons that a primate could afford if it ate a certain number of hours per day.
So a primate that eats eight hours per day can afford at most 53 billion neurons, but then its body cannot be any bigger than 25 kilos.
When you eat like a primate, you can't afford both.
Nine hours of feeding per day seems to be the practical limit for a primate.
If we ate like a primate, we should not be here.
So I think this explains why the human brain grew to become so large so fast in evolution, all of the while remaining just a primate brain.
The human, some of you will be happy to hear, has the largest, thickest penis of any primate.
That's more like the microbiome in a captive primate.
Now, we did study some other species of primate.
What species of primate do you think is even more divergent from the wild primates than the captive primates?
Our primate cousins can't do that.
There is a trade-off between body size and the number of neurons a primate, including us, can sustain.
But our brains' primate subdivision will see the contrasting colors without blending.
And what you see is, for example, patterns across different primate species.
