Intelligence
This singular phenomenon, this wonderful property that has its maximum exponent in the man, woman or boy, is inaprensible, unavailable we only know that it is distributed between the 10,000 million neurons of the brain, in addition to its millionaire connections they are the ones in charge to make possible that able imagination that creativity of core and to transmit information, constituting a culture, an organization of who - we can more or less feel proud to belong.
And who " animates " this tingladillo cerebral? And why we have a unique and unique brain? Perhaps it can give to answer the natural selection of the species? This last would be equivalent to give Maxima importance to obstacles interposed to long-distance runner, when the important thing is the brain that visualizes, that orders movements, which it operates with wisdom, that previously prepared the skill in saving any class of unexpected, et cetera. The difficulties advance, instigan the functions but they are mere immovable spectators. It is known very poquito by the way of the brain, study zones in where metabolic changes take place, ionic, et cetera, but nothing else.
Until it does well little, said that intelligence was " a mixture " that goes from the retentiva memory, until the practice of the same one. Today on the contrary an attitude " is considered " towards certain things, translation of intelligible ideas, capacity of vocabulary, imagination, the words. Therefore he is not stranger who the intelligence test which they have become, does not serve at the present time.
**time-out** as the anthropologist us indicate that to greater mass encephalic greater intelligence, me decide of a experience idiot and old, that when the put me the hat of my father, me cover until the neck and be sure that my intelligence be the same that the one of then, single that now accumulate experience Exist boy that have compose symphony to the five year, that way walk one of eleven year give conference here in Spain on mathematics superior, without go more far Luisito to the three year read to the distant spot and with soltura charcutera, place the piece of chess of his father correct, know his movement and play small game, nevertheless him the chin. Today it is leonine of pro a Don Luis Lopez War, vice-president among other things of the General Council of the Judicial Power Are 50 ctrs. of perimeter those that usually have a boy, but eye that continues playing the pirindola and to not we stimulate them to the angelitos, because intelligence exceeds to them to make the most wonderful diabluras and " inventions " most incredible. I have in my hands good acrylic reproductions colored of some petrified skulls (fossil) one of them called the attention powerfully to me and perhaps she is the inductive one of which today I write, one is the Taung boy (two million years) is one of the few cases in that is the track of the brain (negative) and also I have the acrylic positive. Original that it does not have the price is in Johannesburg in its crystal ballot box interested to me so vividly that I have studied everything what it is written on him. I have seen direct photographies of this skull and observe that in the later retorts, everything is very well, but superior the central milk incisors have been empeque6neciendo and exist diasternas naturally, (separations). It was discovered by doctor Dart in the south of Africa (Bechuana) has 400 cts3 will have an age between 6 and 12 years since it conserves intact molares of the 6 permanent years, already of adults assumes that it would have in
derredor of the 700 and is gentlemen like us, our skull of adults is of about 1,350, I talk about its morphology and it does not surprise me that the paleontólogo Broom a few years but late, knelt down before extasiado him in the contemplation of ascending ours, I say " I eat must " and not with those shamefaced drawings that still illustrate so much and as much book of anthropology with hairs like spikes, with a flat frontal, an exaggerated lineage but, and mainly with a dot of idiot who catches a cold " Gloria to our humanoides ancestors ". When I see photographies of the Austrolopitecus Robustus, also of end of the Pliocene and principles of the Pleistocene (like our boy of Taung) that does not know if they are man-monkeys or monkey-men, for me monkey-monkeys. **time-out** be difficult find bone petrify, after all be small group scatter by all Earth, therefore suppose that in spite of so many difficulty for the finding, not be distant the day in that appear in layer of the Pleistocene, not say a transistor, but object or track that us demonstrate without a doubt that be organization very advance, more than what we can imagine us, which demonstrate the intelligence of such equivalent to the ours In some place (by reason, of the presence of one or more man " brilliant " live in a condition much more outpost that most of his same type, and thus " metal ", et cetera. We are going to imagine to us that the Earth as a result of the shock of an asteroid, disappeared all vestige of life, spent the years and peculiar intelligent personages come from " other parts of the universe " investigated at level of the Amazon, if they found with luck something as advanced as a perola of a missionary, would say that we were very slow... Iten if neurologists say us that the intellectual freshness of many old ones must hipertrofia of the few neurons that are being more means this to my to understand that with half of the same ones, cts3 of our ancestors is the equivalent one to the 700, in other words, For m that I must right to think, since the man is born, always had intelligence sufficient to develop by the life, of elementary form in the beginning, but with great human dignity, artistic sensitivity, delicate feelings and not with an extraordinary club in the hand, as they represent to us in those tendenciosos and caricaturescos drawings.
Intelligence is not inherited, is not cumulative, when we are born to start off to us of zero again, perhaps by the genes transmit a disposition " to us " and the development will depend on the information that we are acquiring with the passage of time. There all the intelligent beings, we can inform positively some thing that the others do not know, into the respect to any alive being.
This article must have left in the middle of this summer, the events hurry and they give in good divides the reason me: In Cepellades (Barcelona) it is discovered that the man of Neardental better was organized of which we thought, that the fire is much more previous (as it is corroborated in Palestine who on a par had permanent light by a complicated system that ingenious, et cetera. I am with a Professor of these disciplines and it says to me: Nowadays one thinks that with 800 ctrs. of skull Already you go By the life wonderfully, clear that they do not exist border exact. Nothing, that my article seems made to the knowledge these facts and I come " imagining " sure by intuition or reason why is, in a reasonable and logical position, pure empirismo, by which the reason in the thoughts of a pile ago of years occurs me. " Since I did not discuss all this until the point of desga6nitar themselves and enronquecer... "
