Really interesting and enjoyable presentation! However, I'm not quite sure if he's convinced me that movement is the main focus of our brains. It seems like an unsupported additional comment on his research to say most of the brain functions are evolved to create movement that leads to increased reproduction. It certainly could but his research doesn't show that.

That was fascinating indeed. Wonder how different it is for the blind and judging movement/ distance.
