Cranial Capacity - A "Numbers Game" for Evolutionists!
ثبت نشده
چکیده
"Pea brain", "muscle head" familiar words to our vernacular which describe mentality, and point to our belief that brain size and intelligence go hand in hand. Since man is at the top of the mental hierarchy of animal intelligence, evolutionists claim fossil support for man's ancestry from a small pongid-size brain. Stephan Molnar (1975, p.56) says, "That the brain space and hence the brain has increased in size during the last two million years of evolution is extremely important to studies of human palaeontology, and comparison on cranial capacity of the different fossils can be useful." Does the study of cranial capacities really support evolution, or has it been a "numbers game" with no significance?

Multiple attribute decision making with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers based on zero-sum game approach
For many decision problems with uncertainty, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is a useful tool in expressing ill-known quantities. This paper develops a novel decision method based on zero-sum game for multiple attribute decision making problems where the attribute values take the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weights are unknown. First, a new value ind...
متن کاملAn interval-valued programming approach to matrix games with payoffs of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers
The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology for solving a new type of matrix games in which payoffs are expressed with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs). In this methodology, the concept of solutions for matrix games with payoffs of TIFNs is introduced. A pair of auxiliary intuitionistic fuzzy programming models for players are established to determine optimal strategies...

Introduction: The rapid use of computed tomography (CT) scan is of great concern, due to increase in patients’ dose. Optimization of CT protocol is a vital issue in dose reduction. This study aimed to optimize radiation dose in cranial CT and assess modifications in image quality under radiation dose reduction. Material and Methods: A poly(me...
متن کاملWhy Darwin would have loved evolutionary game theory.
Humans have marvelled at the fit of form and function, the way organisms' traits seem remarkably suited to their lifestyles and ecologies. While natural selection provides the scientific basis for the fit of form and function, Darwin found certain adaptations vexing or particularly intriguing: sex ratios, sexual selection and altruism. The logic behind these adaptations resides in frequency-dep...
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL MODELLING FOR DICE FINDER GAME PROBLEM
Play is often episodic and mission-centric, with a series of challenges culminating in a final puzzle or enemy that must be overcome. Multiple missions played with the same characters may be related to each other in a plot arc of escalating challenges. The exact tone, structure, pace and end (if any) vary from game to game depending on the needs and preferences of the players, as in [9]. "THE C...
