With creating new species, I'd like to consider exploring every vantage point. However, I am a bit ignorant when it comes to the brain. School spent more time showing me where the brain was rather than showing me what exactly goes on up there. I apologize in advance if I sound ignorant.
One of my races is a subterranean species. They can move around by feeling vibrations. They are also very sensitive to light. Including the physical attributes, would this sort of evolution affect the brain? Like a smaller than normal occipital lobe and a larger parietal lobe? Any word on this would help.
In addition, another race has the ability to learn languages fairly easy like learning how to ride a bike. Would an enlarged temporal lobe make sense? Would Broca's Area play any role or none because it focuses mainly on the movement to produce sound?
I know that my readers will probably never know these things. But as someone who likes to check their bases, I want to make sure that I'm on the right track. I want to make some sense.
