Earlier research had already established that the chances of regeneration in a species depend upon the proportion of nerve tissue in the area of regeneration. Becker points out that man, with roughly 70% of his total nerve mass concentrated in his brain, cannot regenerate. Salamanders, with only half the mass of their nerve tissue in their brains and the remainder spread throughout their bodies, can grow new tails...
