Life and Learning Systems (4) - Co-evolution of Language and Brain_short.avi
This is the shortened version of the 4th video in the Life and Learning Systems series. In this video I introduce Terrence Deacon #39;s idea of how relaxed selection could have played a role in weakening the constraints of genetics and accelerated the brain #39;s evolution, in particular as it relates to the brain #39;s symbolic capacity. This is the first video in this series to begin examining symbolic capacity, and as an extension linguistic capacity, and how this capacity is dependent upon elements external, yet connected, to the body.
