 difference in size is confined almost wholly to three areas, 

 and it is profoundly significant that the areas which reveal 

 the enormous expansion in the human brain are precisely 

 those that attain their maturity latest in the human child

 area), and 5 (the acoustic area) are just as well developed 

 in the ape as in man. The intermediate areas (6 to 30) are 

 also moderately large in the ape. But the latest areas to 

 mature (34, 35 and 36) are enormously bigger in the human 

 brain. The only contrast between the human and the simian 

 brain is that certain areas in the brain of man are enormously 

 bigger than the corresponding areas in the brain of the ape 

 (Figs. 2 and 3). The structure of these corresponding parts
