Didn't really think about it too hard, except to disqualify single celled orgamisms.
Given that I'm going to define any assemblage of neurons as a brain, what creatures are you thinking of?

Oh, he has a brain.
He got it from the heads of three snakes and a newt, combined using dark alchemy.

I was thinking about lancelets,
but the way you are defining a brain shoots down that argument.

Carry on, nothing to see here.

Ooohhh hang on a moment.
What are those things that are lumped in with the chordata because the larval stage are similar to tadpoles. I think they're sea squits. Do they have a brain in the adult form?

Possibly, possibly not.
I think you're missing my point though, which is that out of all the brains on the planet, the human one is pretty unique.

I probably am.
To be honest I didn't read the whole post. I just got to the bit about all creatures visible to the human eye having brains, and saw an opportunity to be a pedant.

That's how my brain works don't you know.
