L’INTELLIGENZA:L’ARMA VINCENTE DELL’UOMO (1)
THE LIVING HUMAN EQUIPMENT
Man is the product of evolution of forms of life on our planet. He comes from far away. In fact from far away. And, in its present form is relatively recent (few million years, says paleontology). For all we know, it seems that he is the only animal to use rational mass contained in his skull: the brain.
This mass-brain, biology tells us, is also the result of evolution. It is composed three distinct layers:
1) or the PALEOCERVELLO BRAIN Perino (from primitive, reptile), from which descend the impulses of aggression 'and instincts, and has a short memory;
2) the primate brain MAMMALS (over the first), with a long memory, which descend from the impulses of 'affectivity', feeling, and fear;
3) NEOCERVELLO or the neocortex, with the capacity to 'association, which is its sole being human, which makes a rational and intelligent, BUT ALSO BE WEAK.
biology tells us again that the neocortex has continued to grow and has remained unchanged since mid-Pleistocene. This explains why there is no biological difference between the various human races existing on our globe.
The evolution of living forms "had endowed man with a body that he could not use properly" (Koesler, 1959: 513). Nature had met all the immediate needs of other living forms. He
with long necks of giraffes to better reach the leaves on the trees. Had provided other hard hooves of animals. Still others pointed teeth. He had reduced the brains of others, spreading, however, that their visual cortex (birds).
Only the man had gone beyond its immediate needs and was equipped with a "LUXURY AND WHOLE BODY ... whose proper and full use would require the millennia of learning, assuming that the human species will ever learn to use all "(Koesler, 1959: 514). Currently it uses only 3%.
strictly speaking terms, its appear on earth, man had no need of an organ as complex to solve their daily problems, but this body will prove very useful when it becomes the hunter.
What is certain is that he did not know and could not use this' body in all its possibility 'and capable of transmitting.' It was full biological, but a scheme to work, needed an operating system, which was to be built through ' Experience (INFORMATION STORED) for millennia.
seems increasingly apparent that the mind and reason were not part of the crew BIOLOGICAL ORIGIN OF MAN, as his arms and his legs, his brain and his tongue, but that has acquired both slowly and has CONSTRUCTED WITH HUGE EFFORTS.
