Sequences Highlights — LessWrong

The stages in this sequence correspond to whole brain emulations of successively more neurologically sophisticated model organisms—for example, C. elegans → honeybee → mouse → rhesus monkey → human. Because the gaps between these rungs—at least after the first step—are mostly quantitative in nature and due mainly (though not entirely) to the differ

an average individual has two to ten somatically expressed mutations.
