In the universe, the emergence of life is a small probability, so small that it is infinitely close to zero, and the probability of evolving a higher intelligent life is even smaller. The evolution of life on the earth is already a very unlikely event, otherwise the galaxies in the universe are vast, more than the sand on the beach, why can't we see aliens visiting the earth? Or is it the exploration of aliens?
After the evolution of higher life on the earth, the dinosaurs that have existed for the longest time and the oldest have not evolved intelligence after more than 100 million years on the earth, but human beings stand out among millions or even tens of millions of creatures on the earth, and it only took 3 million years to have wisdom and civilization, is this really just a pure probability accident? Or is it the inevitability of "internal determination"?
First of all, we say evolution, Darwin's theory of evolution, is the most correct theory at present, not the species themselves choose the direction of evolution, but the environment chooses the direction of evolution of the species, that is, it is very cruel, it is the organisms to adapt to the environment: the free combination of genes and various base arrangements and combinations, so that organisms have a diverse and rich gene pool, in the process of evolution, any gene will be expressed, but the genes that cannot adapt to the environment will eventually die, and those that remain are adapted, so there is a theory of evolution.
Of course, this theory cannot be simply and crudely understood as the low IQ is dead, and the high IQ will naturally be passed on. Because for wisdom, it is accumulative, some wisdom is in the past, but they do not have complex language, cannot be expressed and cannot be accumulated! Sealed in the long river of history!
So there are some animals that can only have simple group cooperation and intelligence. For example, many species in the genus Tyrannosaurus have small-scale social behavior, and Albertasaurus, Allosaurus, and Maprosaurus will all engage in small-scale cooperative hunting. These are evidence of a low level of intelligence, and cooperative hunting requires communication and strategy.
At present, many species of mammals, such as apes, dolphins, and whales, have also shown a certain degree of intelligence. The use of tools, the high degree of social gregary, and the language system are not unique to human beings. There are so many species at the same time with varying degrees of intelligence. However, the judgment of true higher wisdom should be the use of fire (energy revolution) and the autonomous alteration of the natural environment (Paleolithic). There are these two manifestations, which are higher wisdom. This is my personal opinion.
Therefore, the only way to attain higher wisdom is to be like our ancestors! It is necessary to free your hands to make tools and use, live in groups, communicate in language, share your own experience, and share knowledge, so that you can avoid many detours. Only by solving the problem of food can we have the conditions to think, because thinking can develop the brain.
After civilization, because of the emergence of paper, knowledge can cross the long river of history, civilization has made great progress, and the emergence of the computer Internet can cross the ends of the world and cross the capes, and all knowledge is basically shared on the Internet, and civilization has made great progress! Perhaps the birth of life is based on chance, but the evolution of higher wisdom comes out step by step.
Therefore, even in primitive societies, human beings are still in a hegemonic position by relying on the wisdom of immature but still crushing all creatures on the earth. Firstly, humans are collective social animals, and secondly, humans use simple weapons. Such as stone tools and wooden spears, etc. So, even a lion, a tiger. Leopards did not dare to provoke primitive humans easily. If you have seen primitive tribes in Africa hunting elephants, hippos, leopards and other wild beasts, you know the power of humans, who can use simple weapons to live in groups, and directly crush other species on the earth.
However, there is also a possibility that this result is due to human arrogance. We define the intelligence of living beings as subjective, and we define human behavior as higher intelligence, such as the use of tools, sociality, etc., and the creation of literature and art. So when we evaluate other species, we use this criterion.
We feel that primates are intelligent because they are very much like humans, and we feel that nematodes are not intelligent because they are very different from humans in all aspects. If we change the criteria, such as the time of existence of the species, the number of species, etc., to define the advanced nature of the species. Then humans are not the most advanced, any species can be the most advanced.
