PART B_2

Oxford University professor Robin Dunbar stated in a study that people whose ancestors lived within the Arctic Circle have 20% larger eyeballs compared to those who lived near the equator. Previous studies have shown that the size of one’s eyeballs is associated with the size of the visual part of the brain. The larger the eyeballs, the higher the brain volume. It increases with latitude: people who live in higher places north and south of the equator have larger brain sizes.

Studies published in Biology Letters showed that the biggest brains (about 1,484 millimeters in size) were from Scandinavia whereas the smallest brains (about 1,200 millimeters in size) were in Micronesia. The eye size was also notably larger in Scandinavia, with 27 millimeters and 22 millimeters in Micronesia. Professor Dunbar said, “It’s only within the last 10,000 years or so that modern humans have occupied all latitudes right up to the Arctic Circle.” He concluded that the development may have happened within the last 10,000 years.

PART B_2

Animal Emotions
Researchers have discovered that wild animals and even birds feel grief at the loss of loved ones. Elephants mourn by staying close to the body of a group member that passed away and keep touching it for hours and even days. These animals shed tears and cover the body with tree branches. Many years after their death, elephants stand still when they walk past the place of their loved one’s death. This shows that elephants are aware of the concept of death and pay respect to those who passed away.

Aside from grief, animals also express gratitude. A scientist and his friend once came across a humpback whale caught in a fishnet off the coast in California. At first, they thought that the whale is already dead but they freed it by cutting the net when it moved a little. Instead of swimming away, the humpback whale started jumping on the surface of the ocean over and over with its fins. They felt it was the whale’s way to say “Thank you!” to them.

Animals probably have a lot in common us humans than we initially thought. It is important that we acknowledge them. Our recognition of animal emotions will help us get along with them better.
