After reading through all comments as of 2024/05/11 I (as a professor at some major university) am quite surprised that not one single comment has asked the obvious question (instead of dishing out loads of (partial) "textbook knowledge" about brain functions, the difference between mammals and birds, AI and LLM etc.), which would be: what do all those strange structures and objects do which we know nothing about whatsoever? Have a look:

I'm in awe at the complexity and unknowability of it all, but I also have to chuckle at the thought that some portion may be vestigial.

I'm particularly fond of the "Egg shaped object with no associated processes". :)

Sure, if you think of it as an egg, instead of as a galaxy of electrons and atoms so dense as to have structure big enough for us to give it the label "egg shaped object".

What if it's a "wireless" device?
