Keep in mind that all memory is an organization of information, and all information is a form
of coding and all coding is a form of language, and that all language however primitive depends
on memory, as memory represents within a potential in cognition, the conditional-means for
the exchange of information. It is memory as a cognitively directed conditioned, and
unconditioned reflex, as imitation, memes and abstraction, in a dynamic relation in affirmation
or negation of abstraction and objectivity, that forms the alchemy, the art within which culture
is the template.
Certainly within this very limbic-logic expression of self and art we can include the
Chimpanzee who have been taught to paint, and the Bower birds who create mini installations.
But once once we leave the bio-brain system realms of pre-Habilis and move up the
evolutionary ladder from Habilis, we move beyond the autonomic system driven art to that selfexpression
within which abstraction, objectivity and free-will in intellect more and more serve
the self-expression.
It is then that to the extent that self-expression by us Sapiens Sapiens is served by our inherent
potential in abstraction, objectivity and free-will in intellect, in cognition and memory, that our
self-expression achieves maturity.
Here I reference chapter 7 of Matt Ridley’s book entitled GENOME, chapter 7 is titled
“CHROMOSOME 7: Instinct.” The publisher is Perennial of Harper Collins.
A simplistic but workable notion within genetic theory of our species progress
in evolution, in memory and cognition, would find our species bio-brain-system
and prefrontal-lobe development progressing in steps each million more or less
years. It would be a progress wherein the areas found to exist prior to H.habilis
as bio-brain areas corresponding to those areas found in Habilis called Broca’s,
Wernick’s, and Insula areas, continued to evolve to our present Sapiens Sapiens
bio-brain system architecture.
The evolving would have occurred in steps through the branches of our species family tree.
Each million more or less years, there would be in wiring and capacity an additional one time
greater volume in pre-frontalness in proportion to a receding limbic system. The result of
such evolution would favor development in inherent potential away from limbic-system
dominance, towards an increasing potential in dominance in pre-frontal system abstraction,
objectivity and free-will in intellect, in memory and cognition. Keep in mind that 100,000 years
ago Sapiens Sapiens pre-frontal-lobe system was already 6 times greater than that of our most
ancient cousin the Chimpanzee.
The evolving of Broca’s, Wernick’s, and Insula areas discovered to have first existed in H.
habilis as areas formed beyond their earlier development as corresponding areas in our
Hominid-Pre H. habilis and more ancient genetic ancestral species links of less than one
percent with the common chimp, to the 30 million years ago nearly eight percent genetic link
with the old world monkeys.
Within a comparative analogy, within what bio-brain system gene research reveals of the
monkey, as discussed by Ridley in chapter 7 of Genome, one can conclude that the
Chimpanzee and our pre H. habilis Hominid ancestors, having areas in the brain that like the
