No. It isn't exactly the same.

It shares some features, I grant you, but decoding cats/dogs by welding a classifier to the equivalent of V3/V4 isn't what a mammal does.

Furthermore; A "conscious" short term memory of 7-10 sequences is correct. So we break issues down into manageable chunks and it's turtles all the way down.

Comparing the product of >200m years of evolution Vs a decade or so of human endeavour is a strawman.
