"Hence, we postulate the brain is a composite organ emanating from two lineage-restricted progenitors; these dual progenitors may be evolutionarily conserved across 550 million years from hemichordates to mammals."
- KajMagnus 13d agoIf they had written instead: "Human brain was two separate organs" Then, both attention grabbig and true?
- b112 13d agoProbably not, because by the time hominids were a thing, it was one. (if I'm reading parent poster correctly)
- bryanrasmussen 13d agoHuman Brain Evolved From Two Separate Organs.
- nextaccountic 13d agoAre there other composite organs?
- hulitu 13d agoYes, but this is left for the next years because they give only one Nobel preis per year.

- mcherm 13d agoThat isn't even remotely related to the parent question. Organisms =/= Organs.
- thaumasiotes 13d agoDo you think siphonophores don't have organs?
