Are We Making Mouse Brains Bigger?
26th August 2013
In two species — the white-footed mouse and the meadow vole — the brains of animals from cities or suburbs were about 6 percent bigger than the brains of animals collected from farms or other rural areas. Dr. Snell-Rood concludes that when these species moved to cities and towns, their brains became significantly bigger.
As with ‘global warming’, the default assumption seems to be that if anything significant happens in the world, it’s the fault of humans. George Carlin must be spinning in his grave.
