Why would the human brain evolve slower than the human body?

The human brain has not figured out exactly how the human body work. Strang being that "evolution creator". Maybe it is two different evolutions.

1. i'm not exactly understanding your question/statement. first, the brain is part of the human body. when the human body seems fully developed and mature (by about 14/15 in most humans) the brain is still developing - or evolving. it is still trying to understand consequences. it still triggers the body and the personality to act on impulse. until 25 years of age, the brain has not fully developed. so in other words, i don't think it evolves slower than the body - it is just the fact that the whole body is not developed yet. second, your statement "the human brain has not figured out exactly how the human body work" means to me: humans have done tons of studying and experiments, but we still don't fully understand the way our bodies work. the fact that our bodies have evolved and developed, but we don't understand fully how or why does not mean that the brain is behind. it is in fact, completely caught up. until we stop evolving, our brain will not have a change to fully understand the way we have developed and the reasons why we have developed. in other words, our bodies are evolving, our brain is evolving, and human knowledge is also evolving.
2. You're right. It is virtually two different evolutions (body vs. brain). Where you're wrong is in the fact that the human brain has evolved exponentially beyond even what is scientifically predictable over the last quarter million years. Our bodies are archaic shells compared to our brains, evolutionarily speaking. It is only a matter of time before the brain unlocks the remaing few secrets of the body.
