Miscellaneous Subjects In this section I have decided to cover what has not been included in the other sections. Differentiation of subjects is important to make progress in a field. More topics will be added as time goes by, which could result in more differentiation. As I always say, the possibilities are infinite. But at least for now they are being bundled on the same page.

Anthropology

Psychology
Linguistics
Many
of the topics here might not seem relative but the evolutionary
perspective does illuminate a lot about intelligence. Much can be learnt
from how intelligence arose in different species and how they took their
divergent paths. One might not find some of these topics to be
implicitly relevant to this discussion but then human beings are the
only example that we have of a sentient being and hence many aspects of
their evolution are important as they are ultimately tied with their
intelligence. Cultural anthropology is not considered here for its les
relevance. |
