"In designing brains, nature has two parameters it can play with"

"Designing"? "Playing"? I thought this process, i.e., nature, was mindless, chaotic chance. If so, then these words sound fanciful, magical.

Up next, perhaps a similar study on hares? Beetles?

Where did you get that idea. Evolution is “whatever works” natural selection with a little bit of usually harmless drift. Mutations are random but whether or not they persist in the species is anything but random.
