Do Humans “abuse” Their Large Brain?
Question by Michael: Do humans “abuse” their large brain?
I have a question that might sound silly but, I’d like to get an answer.
So, according to evolution, humans have evolved from an ape-looking ancestor through millions of years by natural selection like every other organism on earth. Therefore, we walk on two legs, and we also have evolved a larger brain over time in order to survive in the environment. Now, we could have survived even if humans today had the brain size of earlier humans, because the fact that we’re here is because of them, what means they survived. So why did our brain keep growing if though we don’t really use it for true and only survival?
Modern humans “abuse” their large brains in order to change the environment to suit their needs. They created buildings, cars, technology, and many other things which are not really for survival. So why did evolution keep enlarging the human brain even though it isn’t necessary for survival in our time? We “abuse” our large brains in order to create things that are not for true survival.
