摘要

What can we expect in the future? Will we find a new niche that is adapted to environmental developments and ensures the survival of humanity? What is the future of the human brain development? Will the human lifestyle contribute to halting this development and reversing it? There are indications that the human brain has been getting smaller, and not just recently, but for the past 3000 years. Now, we are no longer challenging our brains as our ancestors did. Instead, we allow the brain long periods of rest by using Artificial intelligence (AI) to solve problems. Will AI contribute to the reduction in brain volume continuing, and what role could nutrition play in this, which also hardly corresponds to what was the basis for brain development for our ancestors? These are all processes that we can control and thus avoid ending up back in the trees.
