I personally think that evolving an actual skeleton seems to be a poor idea: You risk being more susceptible to damage, and don't really get anything out of it. And you lose your ability to go stealth-mode.

We have an actual brain now. I'm pretty sure we want to keep that protected. inside some sort of a brain case. Hey i think they call those skulls what do you know? Does any one honestly think we would survive an attack like before if it crushed our brain?

You're fighting a losing argument, Sif. I wanted to keep the badass super exoskeletal armor, and everyone else was all "It's uuuugly" so now we have no badass super exoskeletal armor.

If i get nothing else out of every one I still say we should increase our brain size, if that means adding a temporal lobe or giving our brain folds we should do so. Temporal lobe is probably best, then we can make a rudimentry language and start to describe things and possibly understand more complex ideas like tool use.

Why, though? Why do we need a more complex brain, and what do we need tool use for? Even ignoring that, it seems safe to assume that despite lacking a complex brain, Squishy can still understand complex ideas. We do have a fashionable hat, after all.

Sifright · 03-02-2011, 08:53 PM

IF you look earlier on we were incapable of fashioning certain things because squishy didn't understand how or what they were. Plus increased brain size will allow us to make some evolutions take up less slots as our more powerful brain can find ways to utilize basic ones in different ways.

you know you cant see the skeleton, and it would actually help define limbs. Part of the reason we gave him a spine

Loyal · 03-02-2011, 09:14 PM

Still doesn't explain why we'd need things like language or tool use. We are Squishy. We're a few inches tall, most other living creatures are interested only in our destruction, and our vernacular for interacting with things includes lasering it, eating it, throwing it, and wearing it as a hat.

Like, if it became relevant later, okay. But right now? What's the point?
