Brain Evolution and Charles Darwin's Theory

According to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, some species manage to survive and prevail in their environment, while other species tend to disappear because they are not strong enough. The selective process decides which species lives and which will become extinct, depending on their resistance.
This concept is accepted by many people until today and they refuse to understand that Darwin was wrong.
He was right when he discovered that the human being is an animal, but the evolution of the species doesn’t occur based on the resistance of each species, as many biologists after Darwin proved to the world with their research.
They concluded that if the organism didn’t have the basis to evolve until certain point, it would never go further. There is a program that allows each organism to know how to behave in its environment and how to solve its survival problems, including how to find food and be protected from enemies.
There is also an evolutionary program in each organism’s cognitive mechanism.
A monkey will never be as intelligent as a human being, no matter how many years it may live, because it doesn’t have a proper brain. It was not programmed to be as intelligent as man. So, there is no natural selection: there are only many programs for each species. These programs define the animals’ behaviour, the route of their lives and evolution. The same happens in case of human beings.
Darwin’s conclusions by observing the selective process were based on the knowledge of his time. He couldn’t suppose that there are several programs behind the selective process that prepares each species to resist natural selection, which means that this selection doesn’t happen by chance.
When we try to understand the formation of the human brain and the appearance of the conscience, we realize that this is a formation that took an incredibly long time. It cannot be something that could have evolved in our planet, because our planet is too young and the components of the human brain and their functionalisms are too complex.
The formation of the first brain and conscience occurred by chance at a time so distant that we cannot calculate it. It didn’t take place on our own planet, in the same way that the formula for the formation of the first live cell didn’t appear by chance in our planet because the planet’s age (about 4.6 billion years old) is not sufficient to allow all the necessary combinations required by probability for the formation of the first live cell, since the permutations and combinations for this event would have been too many and they would take more time than the planet’s age itself.
Therefore, we can conclude that the human being didn’t appear on Earth by chance. The human brain and the formula for the appearance of the animal life are ancient and could not have been developed in our young planet, but all the animals, including man, have behavioral programs in the mechanism through which they acquire knowledge. These programs permit their perfect functionalism and survival in a hostile environment. Programs that might have being prepared by a superior brain for sure, since they could not have appeared by chance.
Thus, the human being inherits an ancient brain that can think and feel and is aware of its existence, but one has to pass through the same evolutionary process through which all animals pass in this planet, because probably, one has to be tamed like them…

CP welcome,

What do you mean by superior brain ? You mean that superior brain created the human brain?
Are not Evolution of programs and Creation programs different?Editor

Editor (and Christina);
Your question from the 1st reply; “Are not Evolution of programs and Creation programs different?” is an interesting point of discussion. In my own work, I view the creation of life and the ongoing evolution of life as stemmimg from the same physical processes.

Dear Christina Sponias,
you wrote
[1 other species tend to disappear because they are not strong enough.
The word in Darwinian terminology is fit and not strong.
[2 they refuse to understand that Darwin was wrong. It is easy to say that Darwin was wrong but difficult to prove that he was wrong. You need to show evidence to support your arguments. Please provide references to the scientific publications in support of your argument.
[3 Darwin’s conclusions by observing the selective process were based on the knowledge of his time. He couldn’t suppose that there are several programs behind the selective process that prepares each species to resist natural selection, which means that this selection doesn’t happen by chance. As far as I know production of variant types is random but not the selection. Selection imparts directionality to the process of evolution.You are welcome to set up your arguments and support them with references of experimental work or actual observation of nature.
Thanks,

John,
In a way self creation is evolution. I do not know how to defend the arguement that superior brain created the human brain. What is the superior brain?Sekhar.

I’m glad because you found this topic interesting.
My statements are based on the statements of the behaviorist Konrand Lorenz (Nobel Prize – 1974) in his huge ebook “Behind the Mirror”.
Lorenz shows us that all organisms are already prepared to face all dangers of their environment before having any time to learn how to defend themselves, and the same happens with all the animal and human reactions.
There are behavioral programs already prepared in the cognitive mechanism of each organism. However, Lorenz could not explain how they were created.
Continuing the research of Carl Jung though dream interpretation in the unknown region of the human psyche and brain, I saw that the unconscious mind that produces our dreams is much wiser and powerful than what Jung had believed when he discovered it.
The unconscious mind is a wise brain that doesn’t belong to the human being and has extraordinary knowledge. Its existence is a mystery.
I concluded then that the same superior brain that sends us wise messages in dreams prepared the various behavioral programs in the cognitive mechanism of all animals. (When we learn how to translate our dreams according to the scientific method we observe that they contain precious information concerning our mental health and other aspects of our lives)
Here is an article that may explain you much better my conclusions:

Dear Christina,
Thanks for the reply. You wrote:There are behavioral programs already prepared in the cognitive mechanism of each organism. How ever, Lorenz could not explain how they were created.
It is true that most of the “behavior” is programmed and those programs may be at different levels [such as brain, genome etc known and unknown. A scientific approach to understand the behavior controlled from unknown levels such as intuition or instincts is welcome. Attributing such behavior to an unknown super brain will attract the attention of the orthodox scientists who will label it as a theory from “intelligent design” or “creationist” approach.
I saw the link provided by you. It does not show any references and is not written systematically. May I request you to start…. explaining what the ideas of Lorenz are and how the work of Carl Jung and your own research can fill the gaps and the need for future research. I hope that you will consider my suggestions positively.
Thanks,

Konrand Lorez was an extraordinary German biologist who became a behaviorist. His work was decisive for me, because he gave me a clear notion about the development of consciousness. He studied in details the cognitive mechanism of all animals. His research was very long, and his conclusions were remarkable.
Of course, he related many conclusions and discoveries of many other biologists, showing us very clearly that the animal and the human behavior are programmed beforehand. The various behavioral programs allow each animal to be able to survive in a dangerous environment and immediately kill their pray without learning how to do everything by observing other animals of their species.
This means that Darwin’s theory of evolution is incomplete. All organisms are already prepared to survive and evolve up to a certain point a priori. Their evolution doesn’t depend on the selective process but only on the programs they already inherit. These programs define their process of development, and their behavior.
So, there are programs behind the instincts. The instincts didn’t appear in the animal behavior as a consequence of the various animals’ experiences, but they already existed inside them.
Lorenz didn’t go further, but I concluded that all these programs could only be prepared by certain brain: they are too well organized, what means that they cannot be a product of chance.
Relating Lorenz’s conclusions to Jung’s conclusions, I understood that the same wise brain that prepares all the behavioral programs, prepares also wise dream messages with precious information for all dreamers.
The information we have in dream messages is extraordinary, and its veracity can be verified in practice. How is this possible?
I concluded that we simply have to admit the existence of a brain far superior from our under-developed human brain.
Jung shows us when he examines the various psychological types that define the human behavior, that the human conscience is based on only one psychological function well developed and in another one half-developed, while the other two belong to the unknown region of the human brain. This means that the human being uses on his behalf only a very tiny portion of his brain.
If the human being is so ignorant and imperfect, this means that he is in fact an idiot. Therefore, the wise dream messages cannot come from the ignorant and imperfect human brain. They come from another brain, far superior.

For example see1 phage resistance. I think if we substitute genome for the presumed super brain the contradiction gets resolved.

Christina,
Because of the diversity of life and living forms and the techniques each one adopt to survive a particular niche, there can not be a uniform model of evolution. And one model may not exactly fit the other. However, theory of evolution is the more systematic and rational way of explaining evolution. The existence of “super Brain” is only a hypothesis, and even if one admit that there is one super brain, the question still remain as to how the super brain manage to create so much of diverse organisms and the most important question of all will be how was the super brain created and how is it maintained and how is it programmed to program the “normal” brains.
You say: “A monkey will never be as intelligent as a human being, no matter how many years it may live, because it doesn’t have a proper brain”.
Well, it is a common understanding that we (the humans) were evolved from the monkeys. It is also a known fact that human and chimp genomic sequences are 98% similar. So, a comparative genomic sequence analysis would be indicative of the evolutionary process.On one hand you say that human brain is too complex and could not have evolved on earth. At the same time, you claim that human brain and conscience could have evolved “by chance” outside the universe. My question is how such a complex brain could have evolved by chance? Your suggestion that formation of single cells could not have happened in 4.5 billion years require a reference or further explanation.
You repeat “Programs that might have being prepared by a superior brain for sure, since they could not have appeared by chance”.
It is true that complex organs like human brain could not have all of a sudden sprout from nowhere. But how about a slow and progressive development from simpler form of brain to a complex human brain in a span of millions of years?
Is that a possibility or not? As I said, there is no super brain, even if it exists, how was it formed and who or what program it or how it was evolved.You have some interesting observations but your approach and explanations are unconvincing and lack any evidence. At least Darwin proposed his theory of evolution based on field records and his observations. I wonder what is the basis of your explanation.
