why is it that so many animals have their brains in their head, rather than anywhere else in their body?
In: Biology
this is the concept of cephalization. Much of it is constrained by evolution. There a exceptions : for example cephalopods (eg the octopus) has independent functioning “brains” in each tentacle.
Yes why heads though I think it would make more sense if we just had our faces on our chests and our brains next to our hearts they should be better protected that way
