the Apes, the Chimpanzee, or Australopithecines. It was no accident that H.habilis were the<br />

first <strong>of</strong> our species to extend tool use beyond the hand held tree branch, animal leg bone, jaw<br />

bone, and stone shard found-tools. It is no accident that they represent the beginning <strong>of</strong> a<br />

distinguishing <strong>of</strong> “truth” from “fabrication,” <strong>of</strong> our species struggle for lucidity and<br />

consciousness <strong>of</strong> “truth” and “veracity.” They were the first to struggle with our species ever<br />

evolving self-conscious realization <strong>of</strong> our species inhibition <strong>of</strong> inherent potential in memory<br />

and cognition by our acculturated loyalty to memory and cognition <strong>of</strong> an earlier bio-brain<br />

stage in our species evolution.<br />

The additions in evolution <strong>of</strong> bio-brain system architecture to H.habilis <strong>of</strong> the Broca’s,<br />

Wernick’s and other language areas was a leap forward in “Natures” design <strong>of</strong> our species, out<br />

<strong>of</strong> the chaos in design in “Nature” from which our species arose. It made possible the<br />

beginning in memory and cognition beyond that <strong>of</strong> meme and imitation, with its inherent<br />

fabrication in error. Enough narrative content-meaning could now be constructed to make<br />

possible the remembering and teaching, evolving our species adaptation, consciousness <strong>of</strong><br />

territory and technologies. Sharding and flaking <strong>of</strong> large pebbles to create more efficient hand<br />

held flake-stone tools, as well as the working with wood was introduced.<br />

Our species limbic dominant less prefrontal bio-brain system evolution prior to H. habilis<br />

permitted only a cognitive expression, a remembering and “truth” telling dominated by the<br />

senses, by magnetic, electrical, and chemical processes, by emotional-bodyfeltness, by limbiclogic<br />

and its inherent fabrication. With H. habilis, advances in bio-brain-prefrontal<br />

development our species cognition and memory began our journey in towards free-will, a<br />

journey away from limbic-will in memory and cognition, away from a cognition and memory<br />

serving fabrication and “truth.”<br />

Mark the date on your calenders 2 million years ago our species began it journey towards an<br />

abstraction in memory and cognition beyond the until then bodyfelt-sensory, limbic dominant,<br />

magnetic, electrical, and chemical autonomic system driven grunts and chatter, to, a protoword,<br />

less limbic-driven, less fabricated ‘truth’ encoding in language.<br />

In The Global Brain, Howard Bloom outlines Richard Dawkins idea <strong>of</strong> the “meme”, the<br />

ancient-cognitive-imitative-behavior, inherent to the memory and culture process <strong>of</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong><br />

animals. I include in this variety <strong>of</strong> animals our Chimpanzee and earliest Hominid ancestors”.<br />

In practice the “meme” is a wordless- habit-stashing, which is at the core <strong>of</strong> all limbicdominant,<br />

body-memory behavior. It is behavior out <strong>of</strong> memory organized and funnelled<br />

through the brains limbic centers, that part <strong>of</strong> our species bio-brain-system evolved long before<br />

there was a human-mind, from reptilian and mammalian times. They are muscle and emotion<br />

memories, sorted by the amygdala, passed for safe keeping to the striatum, stored away in the<br />

cerebellum, in the motor and sensory corridors <strong>of</strong> its widespread nervous system.<br />

From our Sapiens Sapiens potential in cognition, it is our out <strong>of</strong> conscious-control,<br />

independent-conditioned-reflex, stubborn, ancient-nervous-system processing <strong>of</strong> memory and<br />

experience. It is called autonomic, because <strong>of</strong> its autonomy in process, outside our<br />

consciousness <strong>of</strong> self: The kind <strong>of</strong> memory in learning Octopus (A) employed in the<br />

Teddy Bear-electric shock experiment<br />
