Yes, we evolved that ability, but do you thank your parents for all your thoughts? I don't.

But what does that mean? Apart from that children can think things their parents don't even tho they got their brains from them?

That the genes aren't the whole story. There's also an 'I' in there somewhere, with a brain that thinks. I admit, it's mysterious!

Because we don't know exactly how the brain works yet? (I suspect you don't mean this)

If you have two identical twins, do you praise one for his twin's right answers on a maths test? Even if they share the same genes?

How does that relate? Who is saying maths answers are in genes? Just the ability to learn maths is

If they were both maths geniuses, I'd think their brains more interesting than the maths answer.

I don't know what u're saying. What is mysterious. We don't understand how ppl work stuff out? We might do 1 day. Probably be disappointing

Well, maybe I'm going off on a tangent, but the 'I' is also mysterious. In that it's not just the sum of the genes.

Is that not brain too? The perception of a self? Which is gradually dismantled if dementia sets in?

I do think brains are awe-inspiring, poorly understood things which might well be explained one day but I feel as tho u like idea of mystery
