Description

Title: Brain and Intelligence: Why the humans are so dominant?


Abstract:

I cannot answer the question. I do not think anyone can answer the question. I will present some data sets whose analysis can throw some light on the question. One data set focuses on body and brain weights of a number of land animals. Using these data, I will develop an index whose variation across the species of interest provides some pointers to the question.
