Evolution non sequitur

[edit ]

Evolution non sequitur or obsolete/fallacious opinion about evolution:

In section Evolution, number list, item 3:

Similar development of the neocortex in mammalian species unrelated to humans and primates has also occurred, for example in cetaceans and elephants; thus the designation of "superior mammals" is not an evolutionary one, as it has occurred independently in different species.

(The bold added by me) My comment: if it occurs independently in different species, it is definitely an effect of evolution in combination with selective pressure and competition between species. How independent occurrences can disprove evolution is beyond my understanding, unless one perceives evolution as kind of a divine predestination for some elected species to become the "crown" species according to some mystical idea of what is "better" and "worse" by some human standards.

"The interacting components of the limbic system are often incorrectly considered part of the limbic system"

[edit ]

I've removed this incomprehensible sentence. Perhaps it was meant to say "the components interacting with the limbic system are often ..."? Smyth (talk) 16:46, 16 November 2019 (UTC) [reply ]

Perhaps the writer meant to refer to the paralimbic components and it got garbled? Wcmead3 (talk) Wcmead3 (talk) 15:51, 26 September 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Introduction is an inappropriate taxonomy

[edit ]

The intro should be completely rewritten. As it stands, it is a taxonomy of the components of the limbic system, and to the reader seeking general information, it is a jumble of meaningless names. Would an article on the United States be introduced by a list of the states? Wcmead3 (talk) Wcmead3 (talk) 15:55, 26 September 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
