L’INTELLIGENZA:L’ARMA VINCENTE DELL’UOMO (3)
MAN OF ITS MANUFACTURER MIND
Primitive man and modern man had ANATOMY AND BIOLOGICALLY the same potential. Only that primitive man could not take advantage of these potential perchè il suo cervello era ancora allo stato grezzo. Era una lavagna dove non c’era scritto nulla perchè non aveva ancora acquisito esperienze-conoscenze.
Il Cervello, per acquisire la sua SPECIALIZZAZIONE, e diventare MENTE, ha seguito questo processo: un lunghissimo periodo storico di ACCUMULAZIONE e di CODIFICAZIONE delle CONOSCENZE acquisite attraverso le esperienze quotidiane (scheggiare-levigare la pietra, accendere il fuoco, ecc.); poi ha imparato ad ORGANIZZARE E TRASFORMARE queste conoscenze.
Infine, attraverso la TRASMISSIONE ORGANIZZATA, ha imparato ad UTILIZZARE QUESTO SUO “SAPERE”. Solo quando è arrivato a questo punto (epoca moderna) ha incominciato a PRODURRE CONOSCENZE A GETTO CONTINUO con l’ausilio the scientific method.
"organized the transmission is begun with the 'institutionalization of scientific progress." The accumulation of knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, it is virtually without limits.
"But this process of accumulation is a necessary but not sufficient for possible continuation of biological evolution. But it is certainly a condition "sine qua non" for the subsequent development of intelligence "(Leinfellner, 1983: 166).
Neurologists have estimated that, at this stage, the man uses only two or three percent of the potential of neurotransmitters inside the brain (Koesler, 1959: 514). This is very important for the development of his intelligence in the future.
But how did this process? We know that, biologically, man has remained unchanged for at least ten thousand years. We also know what has been its evolution.
From the primordial form of a fish living in warm and brackish waters of a primeval sea (Tethys) to the form of an amphibian, then move on to the reptile, to finally reach that of mammals.
The history of this evolution (phylogeny) is inscribed within each of us exactly as it was held. It happens every time an egg is fertilized. In the life of the fetus
reproduce (ontogeny) according to the "Law of recapitulation" of Hackel, the stages of human evolution. There is a stage in the development of the fetus which resembles a fish (which lives in the same environment of the primordial sea salt and warm), then to an amphibian, and finally to a mammal.
Thus, ontogeny, you go over in nine months, the way in which PHYLOGENESIS took millions of years. More recent research has shown that the ontogeny of man can be written for other roads: that of the DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid.
Geneticists have shown, through DNA testing, that man differs from anthropoid apes, from the genetic point of view, only one percent.
This means that man, with one per cent, has built its MENTAL AND CULTURAL EVOLUTION ..
biological evolution is the product of chance and necessity (Jacob, 1971) and belongs to the realm of biogenetic. L 'mental evolution is, however, the product, gradually more and more conscious of man and belongs to the genetic psychology and genetic epistemology.
This "process of mental development ... seems to unfold, with significant parallelism, in terms of cultural history and what the history of the individual" (Petter, 1971).
