@andrejwagmi but I guess the fact that this select group of small animals became big may have little to do with their intelligence it’s like how tortoises become huge on islands where they don’t have natural predators mammals experienced a whole world of island gigantism

@andrejwagmi freak events need to keep happening / the dice needs to keep rolling before evolution randomly promotes mammalian intelligence or is it rather that any world with small mammals that experiences a freak event will become dominated by them?
