• Resumen

  • This article looks at a study that sought to see if the brain of man was still wired for hunting and gathering. The study used images of animals and inanimate objects presented together. The volunteers were faster and more accurate in describing the animals than the inanimate objects even when the animals were made very small or blended into the background. The study's authors say this indicates that the brain of mankind still holds on to outdated skills.
