It is in the association cortex that the processes that allowhumans to think take place.

This is understandable because in fact most lionsdo come from there but this has not always been the case. If we went back ten thousand years, we wouldfind that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe. However now, unfortunately only very smallsection of the lion's former habitat remains.Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions. It is almost hundred thousand years since the Asiaticlions split off and developed as sub-species. At one time the Asiatic lion was living as far west as Greeceand they were found from there, but in band that spreads east through various countries of the MiddleEast, all the way to India. In museums now, you can see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiaticlion on them. Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C. However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lionsroaming free two thousand years ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions inthe other areas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared fromeverywhere but in India.The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiatic lion. There arenow around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in this sanctuary. However,despite living in sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face number of problems thatthreaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of disease. This is what killed more than athird of Africa’s Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful that something similar could happen in theGir Sanctuary and kill off many of the Asiatic lions there.India's lions are particular vulnerable because they have limited gene pool. The reason for this isinteresting it is because all of them are descended from few dozen lions that were saved by prince who5took particular interest in them. He was very healthy, and he managed to protect them; otherwise theywould probably have died out completely.When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality. They are very impressiveanimals and you would never guess that they have this vulnerability when you look at them.Question 38: According to the passage, many people believe that lions come from _____.A.
