> It doesn't, because there is no explanation for how it determines the difference
I don’t think an explanation is required for this.
I should be able to state that two species have a different lifespan based on a difference in mean age of death - without needing to provide any specific biological mechanism in my study.
Substitute that mean for a linear regression / neural network and the species lifespan for some vector of brain organisation to get the results in the article.
