Einstein's brain and evolution.

The super folded neo-cortex which led to massive dendrite growth and to the extreme linking of the parietal lobe to the temporal lobe found in Einstein's brain suggests that mutation and variance can be detected in the brain, that brain evolution does happen. And, as we all know, those slight variations in Einstein's brain allowed him to access areas of his mind unknown to most other humans. We saw the power of his thought in the discovery of E=MC2; the prediction of black holes decades before they were confirmed; and in the nuclear explosion that ended WWII. Much power in the slightest of genetic variation in a small amount of time, in one species, in one generation; now, consider the power of genetic variation and brain development over 3 billion years, millions of species, and millions of generations.
