Rústica. Condición: Muy Bien. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Muy Bien. 1. Los cerebros humanos son gigantescos, siete veces más grandes de lo que tendrían que ser por el tamaño de nuestro cuerpo, utilizan el 25% de toda la energía que requiere el cuerpo cada día, y crecieron enormemente en un período de tiempo evolutivamente muy breve, lo que hizo posible que dejásemos rezagados a nuestros primos hermanos, los grandes simios. O sea, que el cerebro humano es especial, no? Pues no, según Suzana Herculano-Houzel. Los humanos hemos desarrollado unas habilidades cognitivas que superan a los de otros animales, pero no porque seamos un caso aparte desde el punto de vista evolutivo. El cerebro humano nunca ha dejado de ser un cerebro de primate. Si no somos una excepción a las reglas de la evolución, cuál es la fuente de la ventaja humana? Herculano-Houzel muestra que lo importante no es el tamaño del cerebro, sino el hecho de que tengamos más neuronas en el córtex cerebral que ningún otro animal gracias al invento que hicieron nuestros ancestros hace 1,5 millones de años de una forma más eficiente de obtener calorías: cocinar los alimentos. Porque somos primates, ingerir más calorías en menos tiempo hizo posible la rápida adquisición de un número enorme de neuronas en el córtex, la parte del cerebro responsable de identificar patrones, razonar, desarrollar tecnologías y transmitirlas por medio de la cultura. La ventaja humana es una original interpretación de cómo llegamos a ser extraordinarios sin ser evolutivamente especiales. .

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Why our human brains are awesome, and how we left our cousins, the great apes, behind: a tale of neurons and calories, and cooking.Humans are awesome. Our brains are gigantic, seven times larger than they should be for the size of our bodies. The human brain uses 25% of all the energy the body requires each day. And it became enormous in a very short amount of time in evolution, allowing us to leave our cousins, the great apes, behind. So the human brain is special, right Wrong, according to Suzana Herculano-Houzel. Humans have developed cognitive abilities that outstrip those of all other animals, but not because we are evolutionary outliers. The human brain was not singled out to become amazing in its own exclusive way, and it never stopped being a primate brain. If we are not an exception to the rules of evolution, then what is the source of the human advantage Herculano-Houzel shows that it is not the size of our brain that matters but the fact that we have more neurons in the cerebral cortex than any other animal, thanks to our ancestors' invention, some 1.5 million years ago, of a more efficient way to obtain calories: cooking. Because we are primates, ingesting more calories in less time made possible the rapid acquisition of a huge number of neurons in the still fairly small cerebral cortex the part of the brain responsible for finding patterns, reasoning, developing technology, and passing it on through culture.Herculano-Houzel shows us how she came to these conclusions making brain soup to determine the number of neurons in the brain, for example, and bringing animal brains in a suitcase through customs. The Human Advantage is an engaging and original look at how we became remarkable without ever being special. 270 pp. Englisch.
