Document Summary

Prompt: explain how the human brain has evolved as part of an embodied system for interacing with social and material surroundings. Be sure to clarify what is unique about human cogniive adaptaions, and use this comparaive insight to explain what is unique about the human niche. Complete invesigaion of emoion, feeling, atenion and judgement. Invesigate condiions (niche) and adaptaions favoring for cooperaion. Vague nerve and previously menioned parts of the brain help in detecing oxygen levels, heartbeat, and other necessary informaion. Neocortex receives and send informaion limbic system, an ancient system of cerebrum. Pushes body into acion thru hydraulic push/pull thru informaion processed by neocorical system: gradual steering of motor system and feedback loops. Anterior frontal systems are linked to diencephalon emoional centers (also part of limbic system) Anterior frontal brain and neocortex are connected through limbic system while the neocortex allows for unconscious decisions to move.
