Like my brother was telling me, it all comes down to memory. The amount that humans can memorize is insane, it`s just impossible. There is something else at work there. There are tons of animals who have bigger brains, more "folds" yet you don`t see them memorizing to the extent of humans. By the time you finish reading this, it will be one more in billions of things you have memorized, yet the brain you have is a tad larger than your clenched fist. It`s impossible, there is something else involved. Like you said, it`s the soul, something that is out of phsyical limitations that is responsible.

There are bigger and more folded brains... but there may be something more on the level of interconnectivity.

However, I see now reason why evolution could not take the brain to a level where it can generate or attract a soul.

I have been under the impression that the only animals now living whose brains are larger than that of humans are in the whale family. I don't know how one would go about assessing the memory capability of whales and dolphins.
