Elephants are reported to have increased numbers of so-called "spindle neurons" involved in emotion and social functions of the brain, similar to primates.
Do elephants display the same asymmetric distribution of spindle neurons as primates? In general, given what I presume is a limited number of tissue samples, where has neuroscience progressed in elephants? It seems like we have a lot to learn about these intelligent creatures.

There isn't equivalence between what scientists and experts say, and what some person having an "experience" claims to know.
Why would you lend your name and credibility to something that so transparently aims to confuse and delude the public? This is a terrible idea from a PR angle, and as a moral choice by somebody with a loud voice.
I ask that you please refrain from participation in this practice and not worsen the state of scientific illiteracy in our nation/world.
