Political views 'hard-wired' into your brain

美國《發現》月刊發表的研究指出,人類大腦容量在過去2萬年不斷縮小,由平均1500立方厘米降至1350立方厘米,相當於一個網球大小的腦容量消失。 人類學家麥考利夫(Kathleen McAuliffe)指出,人類腦容量在200萬年前持續增長,但之後逐漸縮小,無論男女或任何民族皆有此傾向。有學者認為,人類智力會隨之降低,但也有學者認為,腦容量雖減少,但人腦效率其實顯著提升。

人腦縮小的其中一個理論,是舊石器晚期,人類需較大的腦部應付嚴寒及野外活動。也有理論認為,人類食物變得簡單易食,頭顱亦隨之縮小。更有理論認為,多元社會出現令人類不需太聰明也可存活,令人類愈來愈笨。

这是我的观察:万里长城的阶梯的幅度如此扩大,能估计到人类的体型从古至今有偏小的迹象。当然这同脑颅缩小的议题不能相提并论,因为我们都知道人类普遍使用脑的10%左右,要是人类还找不到增加脑使用量的方法,可能会在净化的过程中……缩小了 :)
