<<Let me place this view in another perspective. If mankind can get along
with only 10% of this brain power, why would we say that Homo erectus is
unable to be human when he has 5 times the capacity in his brain as we are
apparently able to use?>>
You'll have to clear this one up a bit, Glenn. Homo erectus brain was approx.
850cc. Ours is 1,400 cc.
So are you saying that homo erectus had full brain capacity, while we don't?
What ARE you saying?
THIS STILL LEAVES GLENN DIXON'S EXCELLENT QUESTION UNANSWERED:
<<how is it that we evolved a brain with a capacity 90% higher than we
actually use? >>
BTW, how can we measure brain capacity and usage? Through EEG imaging and the
monitoring of oxygen, blood flow, and glucose. There may be other ways as
well.
