I'd like to suggest a theory here, that a brain's primary function is to study and occasionally override the information processing algorithms contained in the "unconscious" DNA of the organism. Once the brain has discovered the optimal solution through innovative overrides, the best behavioral solutions are recorded and automated in the DNA as hard code, and no longer requires either supervision or further revisions. At that point in the evolutionary history of the species, it no longer needs to invest so much energy in maintaining such a large a brain, now that what amounts to optimal "muscle memory" in the DNA has been established through successful survival and selection of repeating behavior patterns. So what may appear to us be highly intelligent behavior, these functions are coming not from the brain, but from what has been captured in the DNA. This is a theory from a novice, I am not a scientist of any kind, but an entrepreneur. I don't have time or resources to research the validity of this theory, but perhaps someone else does? Thank you.
