Brain Evolution with Gary Lynch, PhD (BSP 48) - Home - Brain Science Podcast

Gary Lynch makes two hypotheses in this interview. The first, primates' assiotive cortex evolved from their olfactory cortex, which is 'random access' and supports arbitrary composition, and not from topographically mapped sensory areas. Second, there was no evolutionary pressure to devellop big brains or intelligence. Instead evolutionairy selection favoured bigger offspring and big brains where a side-effect. by kaspervandenberg Dec 30
