Seriously, are the zombies too stupid to find the brain? Are they too weak to crack open the skull?

Zombies aren't real. And will take on any qualities the writer wants. Some people write zombies as brain eating mindless undead. Others are super fast group thinking infected humans. It's all up to your imagination.

Human zombies aren't real. But zombies are real within the animal kingdom (to some extent..).

I like how relevant their opener is to this question:

Zombie movies have got it all wrong. Zombifying viruses are unlikely to give dead people the brain-munchies — but real-life parasites have the power to take over brains and make real zombies.

Human zombies probably are real but are more of a social + drug induced construct than brain munchers
