How the unique capacities of human cognition arose in evolution is a question of enduring interest. The difficulty of finding the best allometric and developmental frame for brain evolution and growth, however, leads researchers to routinely identify predictable features of the human brain as exceptional.
人类认知的独特能力是如何在进化中产生的,这是一个持久的问题。然而,由于很难找到大脑进化和生长的最佳比例和发育框架,研究人员通常会将人类大脑的可预测特征识别为异常。
