Brave scenario, throwing light on many secrets of human reason.Our reason allowed to us only from the whole living world of planet, to build unbelievable civilization, subordinate to itself forces of nature and even to leave outside Earth. And here we insignificantly small know about that, why our ancestors became such clever. History of evolutional development of brain keeps in itself the great number of riddles. Why wings in the process of evolution independently did arise up at least four times, and acute reason so necessary for a survival got only man? Why did technical development begin since a brain left off raise? Why, eventually, were there such strange from the point of view of fight for a survival things, how is a humour, writing, vivid thinking and art? Джеффри Миллер is sure - an answer for all these questions is in the field of sexual selection that rendered and continues to render on us where greater influence, than it is accepted to think.A brain helped an ancient man to climb on the top of animal kingdom and create civilization quite unbelievable from the point of view of all other inhabitants of our planet. Why this brain needs speed of reaction or ability to keep and process enormous information content - clear, but what plus for a survival carries a humour, or abstract thought, or ability to invent music? All these internalss in any way do not influence on ability of individual to survive, in fact in an order to kill a mammoth, it is not needed to be able to draw him. In order that with success to get through the sieve of natural selection, a brain would be where less difficult and acute. Then why did he become just the same? Scientists until now argue about this question, pulling out all new and new points of view on principle and history of evolution of our reason. So, one assert that such descriptions of brain, as possibility to create works of art, - only by-product of basic, necessary for a survival functions, other and quite consider an art "biological baby's dummy in any way not influencing on our evolutional success. An evolutional psychologist Джеффри Миллер is sure that it not so. Simply, except a natural selection, not at all less, and at times even greater influence on becoming and development of our kind was rendered by a sexual selection. In fact it is important not only to become stronger and more clever than other but also pass to these genes the posterity, and for this purpose it is necessary to find a suitable pair and, that yet more important, to please to this pair.Копирайт© Geoffrey Miller, 2000© К.
