Since study of the mind. Do you believe that there would be allot more impact on humanity as a whole if, we had the frontal lobe as we have now, but had the enlarged, back side of the brain as Neanderthals had.

Do you believe that there would be allot more impact on humanity as a whole if, we had the frontal lobe as we have now, but had the enlarged, back side of the brain as Neanderthals had.[/quote] This is not my field of study, but I will answer as best I can. If I am remembering correctly, the frontal lobe is responsible for most of our cognitive processes, such as decision making, impulse control, etc. I believe the back of the brain houses our visual cortex, amygdala, and involuntary bodily functions IE breathing, heart beat. I assume we would become more violent with a larger amygdala. I don't have a very good answer for this, I apologize.
