Cognitive Abilities are The Cogs of Humanity

History was passed along verbally.  Songs and chanting helped people’s memory with wording and phrases.  The human awareness came through tradition education.  It may have been empirical facts starting the race, but the empirical fact weight lessens when people commence to argue over conceptual issues.  Plato and Aristotle may have been the first to touch on cognition through their language, but people lived and died for ideas many years before them.  Languages were simple and perhaps expressionism was in the idioms of earlier languages that have no translation in the current world.  Cognition bristled!

Which and when are the five senses active in the fetal state and what innate experiences has the fetus placed in memory?  The facts are not known and it is unknown if fetal memory would have an affect later in life, but obviously they can and they do.  Everyone is born physically and they are mentally active at birth.  There is no switch turned on when the baby’s head passes through the birth canal yet the baby has sensations.  A slap on the butt proves it.  It is a bewildering sensation without a name in the infants mind starting the crying.  People went through trials to reduce infant death and a slap on the bottom was one technique to start breathing.  Cognition is at work.  The doctors may have some idea to the reality of the human thought process, but they are shooting at a coin from a mile away.  Reality exists in the mind, but real and reality are two different things.  Good Luck with your life.
