Brain Science Podcast
#48 is an interview with Gary Lynch, PhD, co-author of
Big Brain: The Origins and Future
of Human Intelligence. While almost everyone agrees that
the human brain is distinguished by its large size, there are
interesting questions and controversies about how our large brains
evolved. Are we smart because are
brains are large or because our brains are different? In
this interview you will learn why Dr. Lynch believes that the
unique features of the human brain are a natural result of the size
of our brain. He also challenges the traditional assumption that
our brain size was a result of selections during evolution.
