Being born with half a human brain far and away out-paces being born with an entire reptile brain. Heck, your example of a cat....a mammal brain is much more developed than a reptile brain. There is this class, called Comparative Anatomy....it kinda goes over this stuff.
Doberman, I applaud your convictions, dude, but the development (or evolutionary need) for affection
just isn't there for a reptile.
And....I said I was tapping out of this one. Crap, I hate getting drawn back in.....
You guys go ahead and beat yourselves silly with wishes and "observations"...
