The mark of a mammal is a migrating ear. A chain of small bones that used to be part of the jaw moved back to the skull and became the middle ear- a journey that set true mammals apart from every other vertebrate. A new theory argues that this mysterious transformation of jaw and ear was actually driven by a different body part: the expansion of the brain.
