2. Identify which areas of the mammalian brain are most commonly associated with coordinating higher functions, such as interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.

3. Describe the environment that early mammals like Hadrocodium lived in. What environmental challenges would have pressured early mammals to evolve a cerebral neocortex?
4. Explain the function of accelerator genes and brake genes in the creation of brain cells. What were the biological chain of events that lead to the creation of the mammalian cerebral neocortex?
5. Describe how the FOXP2 gene impacts language development in modern humans. How might mutation in the variant of the FOXP2 gene found in modern humans have allowed for a greater degree of language development compared to other species?
