Suppose there never was a weak primitive mind that is a direct link to present humans. There are so many unqualified people who practice (preach) bad science or create it, there is no real truth, only assumptive thinking. I\u2019m included in that group, so let me preach.<\/p>\n
What if some humans, 5,000 years ago had the same minds we have today? What if a few had\u00a0minds that were actually stronger and \u201cbetter\u201d than today? I am talking about mind power or ability to reason and think how to make or build things. What if we have slowly become weaker at that function than \u201cprimitive\u201d man because of our interruption with natural selection and the evolution improvement process? We are the only species who maintain the survival of all and interbreed with our weak. We even preserve and release our criminals. And all that is a fairly recent trend.<\/p>\n
It could be that we vainly believe we are inherently \u201csmarter\u201d than early man because we are \u201ccivilized\u201d have developed more abilities and wonderful \u201cstuff\u201d. What if that is intensely false? \u00a0We have folks today that think aliens from space are more likely to have built the pyramids than the Egyptians who weren\u2019t \u201csmart\u201d enough 4,500 years ago to do so. Some pundits\u00a0say we are not smart enough today. That is a huge clue<\/strong> of the point I am making.<\/p>\n Today, our minds (in general)\u00a0may actually be more primitive than earlier humans. Some of us get glimpses of that \u201csixth sense\u201d that may well have been fully exploited by our ancestors. What if we are now \u201cover the hump\u201d of our brain development and capacity? I have long heard the assumption that present humans use only a fraction of our brain\u2019s capacity. What if this is not room for expansion but rather powers lost. Abandoned spaces left over from previous tenants? Something like our vestigial tail,\u00a0reduced sense of smell\u00a0and other unused human parts and abilities.<\/p>\n What if early man could memorize 100 times better that we do today? How about 200 times? They didn\u2019t write things down because they didn\u2019t have to. They kept everything in their head. “Photographic recall” was common.\u00a0Perhaps they memorized every movement in the sky because that is what they could see. They took measurements and made markings in their head. Their eventual\u00a0\u201cwritings\u201d became word pictures for spoken words, so is Chinese and Japanese text. Glyphs are not primitive, they are beautiful. Our modern \u201cRoman Alphabet\u201d used here is an ugly invention by comparison but requires less visual brain retention and works \u201cfaster\u201d. We try to spice it up with variations in font. We all start to read these words as pictures, not the letters. Believe it or not.<\/p>\n Do we\u00a0study primitive tribes\u00a0of today in belief that this is the way all humans lived 10,000 years ago. I ask why? Is it because they don’t read or write? What if these people are the genetic failure spin offs and remains from the more powerful \u201ccivilized\u201d minds of long ago?<\/p>\n It is more likely that all civilizations are doomed by their interdependent nature. Cut off all electrical power in this world today and what (who) would survive? Some say cockroaches and primitive tribes.<\/p>\n We have seen the ruins of advanced (and lost) civilizations; Aztecs and Mayan. Who is left, the “native” Indians in the jungle? \u00a0So maybe that is not the starting place of humanity but rather the safe ending. The ones with the most survival skills. The cycle begins again.<\/p>\n Maybe there has always been a select few with extra abilities and there always will be. Maybe there were more human skills in the past than we think . Who knows or cares? I just don’t think ancient humans had inferior brain power or abilities.<\/p>\n I\u2019m no expert. I made this all up. But isn\u2019t it fun to think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Suppose there never was a weak primitive mind that is a direct link to present humans.
