This link (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-019-0350-2) is to the
journal's abstract (screenshot showing citation attached). In part the
abstract says, "Overall, these results reveal a remarkable
self-organization of corticofugal and callosal tracts with a functional
output, ..." To me this organic drive for self-organization validates the
theory of evolution.

Thoughts? Worries? Will we know how much brain it takes to make
consciousness in our lifetime? Didn't see that coming.
