  • Fetus

    I’m reading a book that shows the inner working of the human brain. Some things I found interesting:

    Touch: By seventeen weeks (in the womb), the infant can feel touch all over the body

    except for the back and top of the head, which have feeling by twenty weeks. At just

    two months the fetus will kick and jerk if poked, and by the fourth month will make

    facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or grimacing.

    An electrician delegated the task of wiring up a circuit as

    complex as that of the human brain and capable of soldering

    connections at a rate of one per second would take over thirty

    million years to complete the job.

    I’m fascinated at how we’re wonderfully made.
