    When you ask someone what is special structurally about humans compared to other animals, the answer is often “our brains.”\u00a0 We share similar brain structures to other species alive on Earth today, particularly other primates, but there are characteristics that are well-developed in the human brain.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    For example, you can recognize that the brain in the photo is not a real brain, but a model of a brain.\u00a0 You can recognize that an object is not the “real thing” and realize it is a representation of reality.\u00a0 This is just one of several abilities made possible by the structure of our brains.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
