But ultimately i should be more coherent and specific in my point, in that i'm referring to multi-cellular life with the basis for a brain, no matter how primitive. Thus, the human brain hasn't been in development for however many years it can finally be agreed on that life has been around for - the human brain has been in development since whenever the first multi-cellular life developed a nervous system.
But that still doesn't answer my question - where did Reise's comment on 7 billion years come from?
