Many studies have shown that a significant percent of intelligence is heritable and can be passed down from generation to the next and the remaining is what he acquires from the world at large in his life time. If knowledge is acquired, it seems like knowledge is a constant, if constant knowledge gets transferred then how does evolution happen out of a constant? The answer lies in the ‘changes’ that occur in the expression of human intelligence out of the knowledge acquired.
Though the knowledge acquired is a constant, what the human does with that knowledge in application to his living contributes to the ‘change’ in his expression. This ‘change’ varies from man to man and if significant, then it becomes a newer variant of the earlier knowledge acquired for the future to follow and in that lies another step of evolution. This change is facilitated when knowledge is acted upon by a significant component of human intelligence – analytical capability. The fusion of analyzing knowledge for future application creates advancement of human evolution. So evolution is being contributed by acquiring, analyzing, applying and advancement of knowledge.
The power of human knowledge and its abilities are harnessed by being able to develop one’s analytical capabilities. More importantly we should apply this analysis to our own lives, in being able to identify the resultants of our actions in this limited life time of ours. Are the results in hand and the prospective results of our present actions in line with what we want out of our lives? Do we express our passion or do we exist merely with the motions of the standards that the world has set us to believe in? Are we living a healthy lifestyle or abusing our health? Are we living with warmth in our hearts, pride in our conscience and peace in our minds? We should be able to analyze today, if at the end of this road called life, will we turn back to see how we lived our lives? Has it been a happy and contented one, worthy of being emulated? If we can analyze such aspects of our lives and apply the learning for our advancement then we would potentially optimize this amazing faculty called human intelligence and in the process set some best practices for the future to follow in the evolution of mankind.
