Dolphins are better adapted to this as they can turn off half their brain (and vice versa) while still functioning and alert for up to 15 days straight.

Would be interesting if one day we could induce or evolve to have similar capabilities.

I hope our environment doesn’t become so adverse that we need to evolve that capability but little do we know about the human of the future, whether it will even be our ancestor or a complete different species.


The human of the future will likely be a computer.


That makes as much sense as saying that they'll be a "steam engine."
