1 Summary of Chapter-1 Evolution of Mating system: A Game Theory Males that want many females (Polygamous) Males with infanticidal mode Females with promiscuity to protect babies Males that keep one female from other males (monogamous) Males with baby sitting behaviors Pampeupatal female? Adoption? Homosexuality? Burberry man?
2 Summary of Chapter-1 The Most Advanced Male in KAIST
3 Summary of Chapter-1 Proximate cause : How question What mechanism trigger the behavior? (Genetic vs. Environmental) How the behavior is carried out? (Neural circuits) Problems regarding Input and output mechanism Ultimate cause : Why question Why did the animal evolve the mechanism for the behavior? What is the ultimate function or survival value of the behavior? Problems regarding Fitness and reproductive success
4 Group discussion What is the ultimate cause of these behaviors?
5 Chapter 2 Opener: Studies of bird song have relied heavily on male white-crowned sparrows A White-crowned Sparrow Teacher-Teacher-Teacher-Teaching Sweet-Sweet-Sweet-Sweeter- than Sweet
6 Chapter 2 Opener: Studies of bird song have relied heavily on male white-crowned sparrows Proximate causes of bird song Genetic vs. Environmental Social mechanism Developmental mechanism Physiological mechanism

26 2.12 Differences in the size of one nucleus of the song system Male Female Musician (Singer) Listener
27 2.12 Differences in the size of one nucleus of the song system Song vs. Language? Musician Non-musician Subtraction - = Language areas activated
28 2.13 Single cells and song learning in the swamp sparrow Role of HVC in song type selection A HVC neuron

31 2.15 The song of a vocal non-learner, the eastern phoebe Deaf males can sing a complete song
32 2.5 Social effects on song learning An example of Song learning of songbirds (Lyrebird) Many bird songs, Car, Camera, Sawing
33 Discussion Ultimate causes of Song learning What is advantages and disadvantages?
34 2.14 The phylogeny of song learning in birds Kingdom - Animalia Phylum - Chordata Class Aves Orders - Chicken, Turkey Pigeon, Dove Song birds Parrots Humming birds Bird orders which can do song learning
35 2.14 The phylogeny of song learning in birds Taxonomy Kingdom: Phylum : Class : Order : Family : Animalia, Planta, Protista, Fungi, Monera Chrodata, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Annelida, Echinoderma, Nemartoda, Platyhelminthes, Cniaria, Porifera Aves(birds), Reptilia(lizards), Amphibia (Fogs), Mammalia. Rodentia, Primates, Chiroptera, Insectivora, Carnivora Carnidae (dogs), Felidae (Cats), Ursidae (Bears), Hyernidae (hyena), Mustelidae (Ferret) Genus/Species: Panthera leo (lion), Panthera tigris (tiger), Homo sapiens
36 2.14 The phylogeny of song learning in birds Insectivora Mustelidae (Ferret) 두더쥐
37 2.16 The song control systems of parrots, hummingbirds, and oscine songbirds (Part 1) Two hypothesis: 1)Independent evolution 2)A common ancestor How to prove?
38 2.16 The song control systems of parrots, hummingbirds, and oscine songbirds (Part 2) Brain location of song pathway markers Supporting the common ancestor hypothesis
39 Home work: Think about Ultimate causes of Song learning 1. Independent evolution vs. the common ancestor hypothesis 2. Reproductive benefits of song learning Learning song costs time, energy, etc Then why?
40 2.17 Does bird song repel territorial intruders? The species identity announcement hypothesis Removal Play back of song To protect territories from new comers
41 2.18 White-crowned sparrow females are attracted to the songs of male white-crowned sparrows The Benefits of learning dialect Females like the same dialect of the areas What does it mean?
42 2.18 White-crowned sparrow females are attracted to the songs of male white-crowned sparrows The Benefits of learning dialect Learners can go anywhere! Non-learner from A Learner from A A B C Learning increase the fitness
43 2.19 Songs match habitats
44 2.18 White-crowned sparrow females are attracted to the songs of male white-crowned sparrows The Benefits of learning dialect Males can compete each other without direct fighting Vs Which one is more costeffective?
45 2.20 Dialect selection by male white-crowned sparrows (Part 1)

58 2.26 Discussion Ultimate causes of Song learning A Common ancestor Reproductive success - Male competition among males - Adaptive to new environments - Attractive to female - Male selection by females Good singing for Social success~!
59 2.26 Discussion The proximate and ultimate causes of human language Bird song vs. Human language
60 A proximate cause Broca s Aphasia Patient Tan Brain tumor in Left frontal brain region Broca: Lesion disrupted speech
61 Broca s Aphasia Yes ah Monday er Dad and Peter H (patient s name), and Dad er hospital and ah Wednesday Wednesday, nine o clock and oh Thursday ten o clock, ah doctors two an doctors and er teeth yah Goodglass & Geschwind, 1976
62 Broca s Aphasia Broca s Aphasia Damage to motor images Language comprehension skills relatively preserved Typically observed in patients with damage to left inferior prefrontal cortex
63 19 th Century Neuropsychology Wernicke (1874) described patients whose speech is fluent, but has no informational value
64 Wernicke s Aphasia Neologisms Speech appears to have no information content fluent nonsense Preserved function words, impaired content words Comprehension impaired Even simple sentences not well understood Associated with left temporal lobe damage
65 Wernicke s Aphasia Well this is mother is away here working her work out o here to get her better, but when she s looking in the other part. One their small tile into her time here. She s working another time Goodglass & Geschwind, 1976
66 Broca s, Wernicke s Area, and Connections Lichtheim s (1885) and Geschwind s (1965) model Auditory input mediated by Wernicke s area Motor output mediated by Broca s area Regions connected by arcuate fasciculus
67 Brain areas involved in Language
68 Wernicke-Geschwind Model 1. Repeating a spoken word Arcuate fasciculus is the bridge from the Wernicke s area to the Broca s area
69 Wernicke-Geschwind Model 2. Repeating a written word Angular gyrus is the gateway from visual cortex to Wernicke s area This is an oversimplification of the issue: not all patients show such predicted behavior (Howard, 1997)
70 Hemispheric lateralization
71 2.26 Discussion What is the ultimate cause of language? Almost no progress in this area why?
