This is impossible, of course, without a brain, and ours does it well.So well, in fact that it is safe to say that the human brain is the most remarkableand complex structure in the universe. In order to learn, we must receive, organize, and classify information about oursurroundings. The fact that we are curious about our environment should come as no surprise.As a survival skill, the more we know about the resources and hazards of our world,the more tools we have which will aid in our survival. The Human Brain, Language and Technology C. Write short essays which demonstrate understanding and synthesis of the followingconcepts: A.

Finally we will look at the accomplishments of various astronomers in the Mediterraneanand elsewhere in the world. Counting and the use of numbers marks a huge step in advancement of science a step equally as large as the use of language. We will the connection between calendars, navigation, and the regularity of heavenlybodies, and how this relates to causality and mysticism.
