Studies using rats have shown that navigation in open environments creates a honeycomb-like grid of brain activity.

If so, our brains needing to piece together different maps could explain why we struggle to point accurately between two locations separated by barriers
It nearly baffled researchers to see amino acids that make up life today spontaneously link up under lab conditions that mimicked those of pre-life Earth. The amino acids formed short predecessors of today's proteins even though researchers made it hard on the amino acids by adding non-biological competitor molecules. They thought the competitors would chemically out-game the biological amino acids, but instead, natural chemistry preferred the life building blocks by a very wide margin.
