Implies intelligent design I think its rather some mutations that produced more reelin and created the most successful animal in earth's history

The most successful animal by what metric?

Some of us don't spend days looking for food, don't die of cold, and survive the flu...

aaand we have Quake and Comand&Conquer - Red Alert

The most successful at communicating their view that they are the most successful. Whether they are or not. But that means they are. By that metric.

Has another animal proposed they are more successful by a different metric?

Crickets?

Interesting. So, the human brain is the scaled-up monkey brain with significant architectural changes.

Merely implies a very good fitness function.

You sound like you’ve never been disdainfully stared at by a cat..

Really interesting article though. I’m very hopeful AI can help work out how all these things interact.

I'd really rather liked it if that supposedly "intelligent" designer took a bit more time at designing the urogenital tract of human males.

What's wrong with it?

Agreed, it would seem that evolutionary biology peaked in the late 90s then

So, the most successful at arrogance? In other words, the least successful at humility? Ironically, since humble and human share a common root. Just playing devil's advocate here, but what you propose is not a good metric to maximize.

Yes. Though according this fitness function we're not necessarily more successful than a jellyfish or a tapeworm.
