Question

Evolution, if humans were to continue evolving, will their brain capacities keep on increasing?

Answer 1

yaa it depends on the type of evolution .

Answer 2

Thanks but there is a antagonist, if the brain capacity increased the baby's head won't be able to come out of the birth canal because it will be very big to go through it. Thus, I believe that is a draw back to evolution.

Answer 3

y cant brain capacity increase without increase in the size of the brain ... that can also occur .. because till now scientist are saying that we are using only some percentage of the brain..

Answer 4

The laws of physics may well prevent the human brain from evolving into an ever more powerful thinking machine.

Answer 5

Depends entirely on whether there's evolutionary pressure to develop a larger brain capacity. I don't think there is (we survive and reproduce just fine with our current level of intelligence), so... we probably won't.

Answer 6

True no selection would be made. Especially when we don't live in a state of nature as Thomas Hobbes described it.

Answer 7

The brain size may increase as if we check the evidences of past human evolution firstly it increases then decreases so it may or may not

Answer 8

Human evolution don't occur in same "rate" as in 6,500,000 years ago where the first hominids was present as hafe man hafe abe. If we look at the philosopher Thomas Hobbes idea about the state of nature where no society was existing, the life of "humans" would be "brutish nasty and short" becuase it would be "Bellum omnium contra omnes" (Translation from Latin: "The war of all against all"). So to say i think my point is the more "societyed" we get the smaller is the rate evolution occur with for humans.
