That's a MAD theory =). Wow.
It's a pity even multicellular organisms were pretty
rare about the time the CO2 levels dropped. Still...
we *could* try to make the facts fit the theory if
we make up some more mad stuff to explain everything
else.
(Brains could have evolved as a cushioning pad to
prevent damage when you are dropped on your head...
which as everyone knows is not good for you at all.
And this is the reason humans (who walk upright and
have a long way to fall) have such big brains)
