Evolution and a Prophecy -01

Yesterday I asked the question that despite the dolphin's intelligence, why can't he build a civilization? Why has their level of intelligence not evolved as rapidly as humans after billions of years of evolution? Why are humans the only one of millions of animal species that have been able to develop a civilization with a perfectly sophisticated mind and continue to increase intelligence levels at a rapid rate generation by generation?

I'll try to answer these questions today. So before looking for answers to questions, let's know how the dolphin lifestyle is? Although dolphins live in water, they are mammals like us. Dolphin pregnancy is about the same as human pregnancy. Mother dolphins are pregnant for 11-12 months and give birth. Usually no more than one child is born at a time. Once the baby is born, the mother puts it on the back and lifts it over the water, otherwise the newborn will drown and die. Afterwards, swimming training continued for several hours.

In a very short time, the newborn dolphin learns to swim. The dolphin mother then feeds the baby into the water. Just like us, dolphins form families and form a community with many families. Every community is a leader. He runs this team and controls everything. Let me share an interesting fact. You like dolphins more than people. Dolphin pairs stay together for life. There is almost no separation of husband and wife between dolphins. After her companion dies, dolphins and whales spend the next life alone, but never form a family again.

Young dolphins stay with their parents until they choose a companion with their mother's permission to start a family. They don't choose a mate from a relative. Although young dolphins live in separate homes as adults, they always have a great relationship with their parents.

Dolphins are the world's only coherent language after humans. They speak words. Scientists were shocked by the analysis of dolphin language. It is not a pointless sign language like other animals. Dolphins communicate with each other through a series of sounds consisting of many vowels and basic consonants.

The most interesting thing is that they laugh as loudly as humans when they are happy and cry when they are in pain. Mourning the partner's death. Fun and sports do everything. But the amazing thing is they can sing. A dolphin song is not an expression of meaningless lyrics. As usual, it has all the words and music.

There's only one thing they can't do. I can't dream of sleeping. Because they can't actually sleep as completely as humans. Half their brains stay awake during sleep. Otherwise, there is a possibility of drowning. There is also fear of whale or shark attacks in violent killings. So half of the brain is on full alert during sleep.

Although it resembles a human being, its activities are very limited. They failed to build civilization. Intelligence doesn't increase much from generation to generation. But why?

If you want to find the answer, you should first know why fish, meat and raw vegetables are the main obstacles in brain development. Our brain cells have a complex wide network of neurons. The level of animal intelligence at which the network of neurons is larger in the brain is higher. While the average number of neurons in the human brain is 86 billion, the average number of neurons in the chimpanzee brain, which shares 99% of human DNA, is only 28 billion.

Raw food is the biggest impediment to brain development. Because the calories required for brain growth are not available from raw food. The brain needs a lot of energy to perform its physiological functions. The amount we need to eat for raw food exceeds the capacity of our stomach. If not, within 24 hours you have to eat and eat only, except bedtime.

This is only about the energy required to complete our physiological functions through the brain. But, if we get too much energy, the number of neurons in our brain increases unimaginably. That is, the number of neurons continues to increase across generations. As a result, our brains have evolved to become smarter.
