Has an aquatic diet been necessary for hominin brain evolution and functional development?
A number of authors have argued that only an aquatic-based diet can provide the necessary quantity of DHA to support the human brain, and that a switch to such a diet early in hominin evolution was critical to human brain evolution. This paper identifies the premises behind this hypothesis and critiques them on the basis of clinical literature. Both tissue levels and certain functions of the de...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

The study of hominin brain evolution focuses on the interiors of fossilized braincases. Applications of recent three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for visualizing and measuring >>virtual endocasts<< from braincases in combination with advances in computer graphics and software for acquiring relevant data are transforming the way in which fo...
متن کاملThe brain has long been an object of interest and fascination for philosophers
The brain has long been an object of interest and fascination for philosophers. Some philosophers, such as Descartes, even offered proposals as to how it worked. But philosophers, using the tools of their profession, do not have the ability themselves to investigate the operation of the brain any more than they have tools to investigate the cell, the atom, or the solar system. With respect to t...
متن کاملEarly hominin diet included diverse terrestrial and aquatic animals 1.95 Ma in East Turkana, Kenya.
The manufacture of stone tools and their use to access animal tissues by Pliocene hominins marks the origin of a key adaptation in human evolutionary history. Here we report an in situ archaeological assemblage from the Koobi Fora Formation in northern Kenya that provides a unique combination of faunal remains, some with direct evidence of butchery, and Oldowan artifacts, which are well dated t...
