limbbrain

Limbbrain is a fictional concept that appears in the speculative fiction novel "An Absolutely Remarkable Thing" by Hank Green. The term describes a hypothetical evolutionary leap where the brain physically separates from the rest of the body and develops its own independent limbs for locomotion. In the context of the novel, "limbbrain" is a playful, yet thought-provoking, idea that explores themes of evolution, consciousness, and the potential future of biological development. It is presented as a scientific curiosity and a source of imaginative speculation within the narrative. The novel uses this concept to explore the boundaries of biological possibility and the nature of intelligence. It is not a scientifically recognized term or a real biological phenomenon.
