    I used to wonder why, for example, there are no reptile lineages that have evolved larger brains - some did get as far as being bipedal and social. I vaguely remember that the answer was something to do with warm bloodedness, but I wonder if that argument still holds in the light of more recent ideas about warm bloodedness in dinosaurs?

    Is there a physiologist in the house?
