Babies in the womb have lizard-like hand muscles

Babies in the womb have extra lizard-like muscles in their hands that most will lose before they are born, medical scans reveal.

They are probably one of the oldest, albeit fleeting, remnants of evolution seen in humans yet, biologists say, in the journal Development.

They date them as 250 million years old - a relic from when reptiles transitioned to mammals

How about the so-called 'lizard brain' - the limbic system, which triggers instinctive reactions?
Never heard of same... duly quiried online and the following was most prominent.

A fine article, highlighting some fascinating issues.

Good shout there, James - this is one of those you need to read repeatedly, before it begins to be absorbed:
