چکیده مقاله:

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 role of social life. Factors like an increase in brain size, cheat-detection module, the theory of mind, and group size in the evolution of human behavior and the end, the function of the group, and mechanisms of group integration are discussed.

The evolution of human intelligence and the coefficient of additive genetic variance in human brain size

Most theories of human mental evolution assume that selection favored higher intelligence and larger brains, which should have reduced genetic variance in both. However, adult human intelligence remains highly heritable, and is genetically correlated with brain size. This conflict might be resolved by estimating the coefficient of additive genetic variance (CVA) in human brain size, since CVAs ...

A Life-size Human Brain

Each of the five senses activates a separate area of the cerebral cortex, the sheet of neurons that makes up the outer layer of the brain’s hemispheres. This brain, shown in actual size, is a computer reconstruction based on data from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Approximate locations of the primary sensory areas are shown in color. Most of the activity takes place within convolutions that...

Social 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...

Adaptive specializations, social exchange, and the evolution of human intelligence

Blank-slate theories of human intelligence propose that reasoning is carried out by general-purpose operations applied uniformly across contents. An evolutionary approach implies a radically different model ofhuman intelligence. The task demandsofdifferent adaptive problems select for functionally specialized problem-solving strategies, unleashing massive increases in problem-solving power for ...

Allomaternal care, life history and brain size evolution in mammals.

Humans stand out among the apes by having both an extremely large brain and a relatively high reproductive output, which has been proposed to be a consequence of cooperative breeding. Here, we test for general correlates of allomaternal care in a broad sample of 445 mammal species, by examining life history traits, brain size, and different helping behaviors, such as provisioning, carrying, hud...

Artificial Intelligence and Pro-Social Behaviour

If artificial intelligence (AI) were achievable, what would the consequences be for human society?1 Perhaps surprisingly, the answer to this question is already at hand. We are achieving rapid and accelerating success in our quest to build AI. That very success — and the slowness with which both the academic community and the general public have come to recognise it — has shown how little we un...
