▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage covers three major
points concerning the several explanations on the major cause of the decrease of human brain size. The
listening, however, clearly states why these points are debatable.
The first point made by the author is that
a change in human society caused the decline of the brain size. However, the
speaker challenges this by mentioning that a new kind of intelligence emerged
as the societies had developed. For example, relationship with people requires
more capacity of human brain. Hence, social changes cannot account for small
brain.
Another point made by the writer is that
smaller the body size is, the smaller the brain is. compared to that of primitives, corresponds to the small
brain size. On the contrary, the lecturer asserts that this is not true due to
the fact that fossil records; the records show that the speed of the human body shrinking was much faster. If the writer’s point is true, the
rates (of what?) must be similar. Thus, the decreasing body size might not be a persuasive
reason to support the nowadays small brain size nowadays.
Lastly, the reading claims that a shirking
visual cortex is a reason that causes the brain size to get smaller. The professor debunks this
by saying that the cortex is not a primary reason because it takes only small
part in the human brain. Even if its size is decreased, it has a little effect
in the size of the brain. Therefore, the decrease of the size of visual cortex cannot
be the main reason that the size of brain has decreased.
