Last year, an article published to Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution made headlines across the world after it claimed human brains shrank in size approximately 3,000 years ago. This, according to the authors, may have driven by the externalization of knowledge in human societies, thus needing less energy to store a lot of information as individuals. As a result, we developed smaller brains.

According to research conducted in 2019, the human being underwent brain shrinkage 3,000 years ago. According to the authors, the reason was the ease of storing information in social groups. Thus, humans stopped containing in their brain all the information they needed to survive and began to rely on social or collective intelligence. This study was based on the evolutionary patterns of ants , due to the social organization of said insects. Despite the solid analysis that the scientists did, it may be that their proposal is not so accurate.
