	No evidence there.

	However one does have the op****tunity over many generations and battles
and 
dealing with animals to realize with concussions more people survive when
the 
skull is actually cracked and subdural swelling is seen. It is a matter of

before someone cuts a hole in place of an actual crack in the skull and
find it 
is more likely to help than hurt.
