The Author States: "The Fact That Different Brain Regions Develop

question 18

Essay

The author states: "the fact that different brain regions develop and mature at different times is an effective compromise that allows organisms to survive outside the womb right after birth yet learn what's needed to be a successful adult.". If some areas of brain development aren't complete until the teenage years or later, what do you think is driving this evolutionary compromise? In other words, what traits might be "essential" for a species that are present before the brain is fully developed?
