The evolution of the brain:
1. Reptilian brain
-instinct, survival. Regulates automatic functions (breathing, body temp., fight or flight response)
2. Mammalian brain (limbic system)
-instinct and emotions. Process information from the environment thru our emotions. Fear, feeding, fighting and fornication.
Interpret meeting a person for the first time: mate business, adversary, and dinner date?
3. Neocortex brain
-Speech, writing, thinking. Recognition of people values, not because we need something from them.
4. Prefrontal cortex brain
-Key to enlightenment, reasoning, inventing, music creative thinking, science. Sense of self-development and individuality.
We understand who we are in relation to our home environment and our history.
