Evolution of Science

Evolution of Science
Flash back to the early stage of human era, look above’ probably you see the sun, very far but very effective. Its light disappears with it but in the very same sky thousand’s of stars appears along with the shape changing sun like thing but not that effective. Some of you may think of a God, but No, I am talking about the period before the god existed. After all God are also the product of human mind created by some intellectual people during the development of civilization, for ordinary people and a threat for criminal brain to maintain law and order in the society. Not even the period of early man or the time of invention of fire. I’m talking about the time when we were just like the animals. Yes an Animal, now take yourself as an animal. You see the river but don’t have knowledge how it originated although the mountains stands just before and rain wets you time to time. You hear the sound but take it only as a warning to run. You eat but don’t have an idea what you throw comes from. You have sexual intercourse but don’t know your own children’s; you take care of them only because your partner loves them and your partner does because she thinks it as her body part. But then think for a while how we human from the same species of animal put down them far behind to be as we are now.

May be the weakest side of us have helped us. We cannot run like a deer or fight back like a wild buffalo to save our life from the predators. But the same things can be done by putting forward the mind just like we reached on the moon before birds which they have been trying thousands of years before we even thought of doing though they can fly. Yes by the use of brain we are the supreme species in this planet. Our brain consumes about 25 percentage of the total energy needed by our body which is very high than any other animals. As it was difficult for female to run with four legs as well as to carry her children to save life from predators, she slowly developed to walk and run with two legs so she can use other two to carry her child. Moving with two legs saved about 40 percent of our energy which could be utilized for brain. As being the weakest animal we sharpen our brain to overcome our weakness. Another thing which can be considered is the sex. Dolphin is the only animal other than us to have sex for entertainment and which is the second smartest animal after human. So is being sexy is also to be smartest? There may be many reasons for how we have developed our brain to be as intelligent as we are now, but the development process required thousands of year passing knowledge generation to generations. Hadn’t our ancestor recognized the power of brain and passed it to their next generation by the mean of interaction, stories, books, schools etc, we could have remained as the other animals or had already extinct.
With the development of our brain, it introduced us with the science, the science of physical things, environment, biology, astronomy to the modern quantum. The present Science is the collection of knowledge before the period of discovery of fire when we started using our brain. Science does not only explain about the physical part but also its spiritual side, like it not only says the earth moves round the sun but also define why it does. Before we could not even express the term- the sun and the moon but now we not only can explain why it disappear and change its shape but also utilize it to measure the time. Science with our brain have developed so much that it has define itself (our brain) and is trying to create it in form of computers and Roberts. Had not there been the power of thinking towards why things are and why it happens, there wouldn’t be this subject which we read now. There could be other type of science evolved in other part of the universe by an alien but for us Science is all about the facts and knowledge we gathered, it’s about what we think and illustrate it in systematic way. Though Science has its own identity in the universe but it could not be understood without our brain and common sense. So we can say that the ‘evolution of science’ is the history of how we developed our brain and our intelligence.
