The find for the first time identifies the fossilised brain of what are considered the top predators of their time, a group of animals known as anomalocaridids, which translates to 'abnormal shrimp.'

    Thank goodness the article straightened me out... I thought maybe they found Biden's brain, but that would have meant a colonoscopy for Obama...

    That's pretty cool. Not sure why scientists would have thought a predator would have had a more developed brain??? Seems they would be programmed to do one thing.

    Well, it said 'oldest predators'.
