Human mind: the relationship of mind to life experience |
|
| |
|
|
| |
One of the seeming never ending debates is nature versus nurture concerning the development of the human mind and brain. |
|
| |
But as the remarkable birth of the human being shows, we actually experience the evolutionary stages of life on Earth literally through our birth cycle. |
|
| |
In the process, our cells re-live and learn the experiences that were learned by countless species over millions of years in unlocking DNA sequences to build superior structures. |
|
| |
Experience therefore is a fundamental driving force to who we are, even before we are physically born. |
|
| |
But there is more to mind than merely the physical functions of the brain- there is memory, there is personality and many aspects that make up a person. |
|
| |
We will investigate this further in chapter 18. |
