entered the English language
in Europe during the early Middle Ages
· Invented by Alfred Binet and William Stern at the beginning
of the twentieth century, IQ’s influence has been pernicious,
artificially inflating the importance of language and figures and
taking no account of creativity, common sense, or the ability to
manage emotions.
Intelligence involves a combination of
“know-how” and “know-what” across a multitude of context
Nurture not
nature is in the ascendency. Intelligence
has been linked to the brain. Interestingly, the ancient Egyptians
believed that a person’s ability to think resided in their heart, while
their judgment came from either their brain or their kidneys!
From six million to four and a half million years ago, human
beings had a smaller brain, about a third of its size today, which was
capable only of displaying limited intelligence. It could take simple
decisions according to simple rules, for example about food, shelter,
and survival.
In the second period, from four and a half million to about
100,000 years ago, much more specific kinds of intelligent activity
developed. The beginning of language during this period is an obvious
example.The third period, from 100,000 to about 10,000 years ago
sees the emergence of a much more complex brain and more generalized
types of intelligent activity. Key in this last period are the
development of culture and religion.
