摘要

在本章中,我的结论是,生态学已经被证明可以解释多种物种大脑区域大小的变化,这与其他任何假设都不一样。我接着提出了收集必要数据需要采取的步骤:收集具有可识别功能的大脑区域的大小数据,选择适当的认知测试并从适当的物种收集数据,更好地量化生态因素以及从不同年龄、性别和地理位置的个体收集的数据,以及证明更好的认知能带来健康益处。这些都是在原则上和实践上可行的,如果一个假设/分类组具有挑战性。有了这些数据,我们可能最终能够阐明是什么导致人类大脑变得相对较大。

Concluding Remarks
In this chapter, I conclude that ecology has been shown to explain variation in the size of brain regions in multiple species, which is not the case for any of the other hypotheses. I go on to suggest the steps that need to be taken to collect the requisite data: collecting data on size of brain regions with identifiable function, choosing the appropriate cognitive test and collecting data from appropriate species, better quantification of ecological factors along with data collected from individuals that differ in age, sex, and geographical location, and demonstration that better cognition confers fitness benefits. Each of these is in both principle and practice feasible, if challenging to assemble for one hypothesis/taxonomic group. With these data, we may eventually be able to shed light on what has caused human brains to become relatively large.
