Subtitle: &quot;Cats Don’t Talk&quot;<p>(Yet certain birds, with far smaller brains, <i>do</i> talk.)<p>From a couple skims, the author seems unaware of the long and <i>very</i> disreputable histories of both the <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Phrenology" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Phrenology</a> in particular, and obsessions over human brain size in general.<p>It&#x27;s a bit reassuring that nobody&#x27;s bothered to upvote this submission.
