From a CT-scan of a hyena skull, it is possible to reconstruct the three-dimension structure of the brain it held.
Instead, Kurzweil compares his theory with the physical structure of the brain, hurling a huge amount of neuroanatomy at the reader, and asserting, without a lot of reflection, that it all fits his theory.
His views put him at odds not only with behaviorism but also with a movement that began toward the end of his career: attempts to explain all human behavior by looking at the structure of the brain.

The next bit of the plan is to scale it up.One thing that is already known about the intermediate structure of the brain is that it is modular.
