Emergence of the Modern Human Mind
نویسنده
چکیده
When did the modern human appear? Was it sudden or gradual? These are getting the most important theme not only in Archaeology, but in the evolution of human mind. The important thing in judging when humans evolved into modern humans is when humans obtained the modern human mind. However, thus far, the evolution of the modern human mind has been discussed mainly from archaeological, anthropological, and biological viewpoints, and has not been discussed so much in connection with the mind of living human beings. This is the first report on the discovery of direct evidence showing the emergence of the modern human mind by analyzing the Kansei characteristics of living human beings; the relationship between words expressing Kansei and the five senses(Sensus Communis). Some 165 words expressing Kansei were translated into 21 different languages, and surveys were carried out on the relationship for about 800 individuals from these 21 peoples. The results show that the relationship has racial and genetic characteristics. A comparison of the results obtained here with the genetic data reveals that the modern human mind appeared abruptly some 50,000 years ago.
