The next time you are tempted to call someone a lizard brain, reconsider what you’re saying.
65 million years ago, reptiles held dominion over the earth. Mammals, on the other hand, did not gain dominance until after the big meteor smashed into the Yucatán Peninsula, shifting the entire hierarchy on the planet.
As a result of the change in ruling order, mammals and reptiles naturally developed different brains. Interestingly, however, is that some of our brain stayed rooted in the same reptilian place.
The lower parts of our brain stayed in large part the same, giving us physiological baselines for the structure of the rest of our brain.
Human happiness comes from how the old parts of our brain play nicely with the new parts.
To read more about the fascinating evolution, check out this great piece on Medium about what lizards teach us about human happiness.

We regularly share our favorite posts on entrepreneurship, small business, marketing, logo design, web design, startups, leadership, social media, marketing, economics and other interesting stuff!
