چکیده
which consciousness can exist without intrinsic material structure. With this vision of reality, they state that it will not be possible for humans to build a computer that can duplicate the consciousness of a human mind. I submit that such thinking is in error, even though some of its proponents are men of scientific training and great accomplishment. A few years ago, a book by Roger Penrose, one of the world’s most eminent physicists, was published. On the first page of chapter 1 of his book The Emperor’s New Mind, Penrose (1989, p. 3) asks a few amazing questions:

متن کاملSocial 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 ...
