The colossal brains of people are to a great extent because of one segment the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the focal point of dialect, rationale, critical thinking, and data preparing. A high bent in these territories would be exceptionally favorable to primitive seekers.

Answer:

Basically, the increases of brain size is due to the environment. The brain developed by necessity, because primates where constantly facing new changes from the environment, unpredictable events, an constantly changing world obligates primates to evolve, otherwise they would die.

So, basically a complex world developed a complex brain, which implies a bigger brain. Until it became the modern, largest brain among primates, the human brain. This evolution gave the opportunity to process a lot more information, to deduct patterns in the nature, which was crucial to survival.

Which vector should be negative?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

 The velocity of a falling object

Explanation:

  The positive X axis is towards right and positive Y axis is towards up, so North direction is positive

  A vector with less than 1 magnitude is not negative, because its magnitude may be in between 0 and 1 which is positive vector.

  Any vector whose magnitude is greater than 1 is never be a negative vector.

  The velocity of a falling object is towards bottom, that is towards negative Y axis. So that vector is negative.

Which of the following is a possible use for nuclear energy?
belka [17]
<span>Nuclear energy can be used to power all of the above choices. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste that must be stored properly. It is very impossible for a nuclear power plant to have no waste at all since lots of chemicals are used to create the process as it gives energy to other machines, weapons such as bombs and  powering submarines.  Radioactive waste can not be released into local water supplies since the wastes are very radioactive and may cause mutation to the fishes and bioaccumulation which will affect humans as well. It will also cause air pollution if the chemicals are not stored properly.</span>
