Social life, evolution of intelligence, behaviour and human brain size
Social life is one of the most critical factors of the evolution of the behavior of non-human primates and humans. Several factors, such as an increase in brain size, adaptive modules, and grooming, are related to the complexities of social groups. Although some scientists have mentioned foraging as a rival hypothesis for the evolution of behavior, in this research, we tried to investigate the ...
متن کاملBrain size, head size, and intelligence quotient in monozygotic twins.
Many studies of monozygotic (MZ) twins have revealed evidence of genetic influences on intellectual functions and their derangement in certain neurologic and psychiatric diseases afflicting the forebrain. Relatively little is known about genetic influences on the size and shape of the human forebrain and its gross morphologic subdivisions. Using MRI and quantitative image analysis techniques, w...
متن کاملSelf-Organization in Artificial Intelligence and the Brain
Self-organization is one of the few theories that can explain significant aspects of developmental neuroscience. Within the brain itself, various spatially organized regions, or maps, exist that emerge dynamically. Theories and models that use self-organization have been successful at explaining such phenomena, and while these are not conclusive proof, they provide strong evidence in favor of s...
متن کاملRace, brain size, and intelligence: a reply to Cernovsky.
Cernovsky's 1990 critique of my work on the relation between brain size and IQ inadequately presents my position. I did not address the issue of sex differences in brain size nor did I conclude that "women are less intelligent than men" (p. 337). In the autopsy study cited by Cernovsky, it was concluded that, when body size is controlled, the male-female difference in brain size is removed but ...
متن کاملSocial intelligence, innovation, and enhanced brain size in primates.
Despite considerable current interest in the evolution of intelligence, the intuitively appealing notion that brain volume and "intelligence" are linked remains untested. Here, we use ecologically relevant measures of cognitive ability, the reported incidence of behavioral innovation, social learning, and tool use, to show that brain size and cognitive capacity are indeed correlated. A comparat...
