Subtitle: "Cats Don’t Talk"

(Yet certain birds, with far smaller brains, do talk.)

From a couple skims, the author seems unaware of the long and very disreputable histories of both the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenology in particular, and obsessions over human brain size in general.

It's a bit reassuring that nobody's bothered to upvote this submission.
