And of course the bog bodies have brain remains as does Oetzi who would probably win in a brain weight contest.

The DNA study will be fascinating. I hope the study makes it out to the general public.

Another interesting find from that same bog was a piece of fabric. These same humans had developed the ability to make fine textiles. I didn't think textiles were around back then.

Wish we had the ability to tap into that brain's memories to see what those folks knew.('')
