There’s also the idea of lizard people ruling the earth, Cthulhu etc. Old discredited idea of triune brain. There’s an ontogeny-recapitulates-phylogeny aspect to archetypal variety. There’s less variety in older layers of the tree, but they differ in bigger ways.

brain structure turns out to be largely irrelevant, though there is no doubt that the various areas evolved along with anything else. Similar retained areas in many cases would have similar functions as before. Along the lines of % DNA in common with older species?

I don't think the core archetypes as I define them require that much sophistication to operate. I know you use the term a lot more loosely most of the time, closer to 'trope'. I care mostly about the supposed firmware where the tropes join/originate
