      As humans I would say no we cannot live without a brain. However it is really interesting that other organisms can. For example bacteria don’t have a brain but make decisions. They are able to make decisions based on stuff that is happening around them such as how much food is available. Which is pretty cool! However it is our brains that make us so unique. Bacteria don’t have personalities (that we know about) and that is what is so great about people.
