对不起,我说错了,应该是Social brain(本站有下载)中的一段.是专门讲SIZE与进化的关系.如果你有不清楚的地方可以再讨论,希望你能承认你的那句" 不过我个人认为,容量的不同才是本质的不同。"是错误的! CLAIM (1) THE HUMAN BRAIN IN GENERAL IS ANATOMICALLY UNIQUE This is completely wrong. CLAIM (2) HUMANS HAVE THE LARGEST BRAIN IN ABSOLUTE TERMS This is definitely wrong, as can be seen from Figure 2.1 and Table 2.1. Humans have large brains (1.3–1.4 kg average weight), which is the largest among extant primates (the extinct Homo neanderthalensis had a somewhat larger brain), but far from the largest among mammals. The largest mammalian brains (and of all animals) are found in elephants (up to 5.7 kg) and whales (up to 10 kg). CLAIM (3) HUMANS HAVE THE LARGEST BRAIN RELATIVE TO BODY SIZE This is wrong, too.While the human brain occupies about 2% of body mass, in very small rodents relative brain size goes up to 10%. However, among primates, humans have the largest relative brain size. Thus, contrary to a common belief, humans do not have the largest brain in either absolute or relative terms. Unless we accept that cetaceans and elephants are more intelligent than humans and/or have states of consciousness not present in humans, the absolute or relative size of the human brain per se cannot account for our actual or alleged superior cognitive abilities. 希望你下次的"理论"也能拿出足够的证据来!否则一般的高手是不屑和你辩论的,你的态度也会让别人觉得你不大度.学术本来是需要争论的,但不能转移话题的说些不相关的话. |
