Dan M Mrejeru
This book collects articles that I uploaded on academia.edu in 2022. The book enhances the most significant moments that, in my opinion, have occurred in human evolution. Such information is little debated or not mentioned in scientific literature. I like to mention a few of such issues: -the hominin brain begins to differentiate from monkey brain only in the last 500,000 years -the hom*o sapiens brain entered the path toward modernity only in the last 70,000 years -it is demonstrated that the swarm intelligence is generated by the van der Waals forces -the role of latency in human brain functioning is largely diminished -the hierarchical change of our mental complexity and its implications are mostly omitted -the high dimensional origin of emotions and their translation and alteration in consciousness is little explained -changes that generated the modern brain have been directed to avoid the species extinction The book starts with the role played by the planetary climate and geomagnetic changes, and other changes (geophysical and geological), which radically influenced human evolution. The book insists on the epoch 120-23,000 years ago, when the most anatomical changes occurred in the hom*o sapiens brain. Other biological evolutions are also considered. Part two makes several estimates on the determinants of human migration. Part three debates evolutionary biological events and considerations. Part four refers to the evolution of conscious, unconscious, and human thinking. Part five debates the most significant features which may affect our future.
3RD EDITION OF SEVEN PAPERS.pdf

Dan M Mrejeru
This is a book that I self-published in July 2022. It contains a collection of several papers I previously uploaded to academia.edu. It is divided into seven parts as follows: -A prehistoric C14 isotope and the wave of extinction. It debates the role of C14 isotopes in the terrestrial atmosphere and their impact on biological systems' evolution, with a particular reference to hominins. -Absorption of the C14 isotope stimulates neurogenesis. -A language-ready brain -Changes in brain lateralization -Universal technology of language and the intelligence of complexification. It demonstrates that speech turned into the mechanism that generated all technologies. It debates the possibility that human intelligence was developed in mental processes of complexification. -hom*o loquens. It debates the eventuality that language transformed us, at least mentally, into a new species. -Challenges. It debates human migration, the gaming brain, and metabolic oxygen deficiency.
Making of the Speakingman
The aim of this paper is to document the occurrence of two major stages of anatomical changes in the hominins brain. These major anatomical changes occurred 500-300 ka and 100-27 ka. The first result was the creation of three hominin species, and the second result led to generate a modern brain in hom*o sapiens. On the side, the paper discusses other issues like bipedalism, the use of fire and tools. I also discusses the extend of consciousness in the era 75-27 ka. It is a 59 pages long paper.
Philosophy of recursion, fire and intelligence

The switching to bipedalism created the hominins, but it brought along a weakness. The aim of this paper is to review the issue of bipedalism in the light of its adaptations, like the brain size increase, use of fire, adaptation to recursive composition. All such adaptations caused the altering of the environment, generated a coherent language and intelligence.
Mapping the consciousness.pdf

Dan M Mrejeru
The aim of this paper, as the title suggests, is to map consciousness. It starts with the theories of consciousness and continues with many subsections, where other correlates are discussed. It goes to mapping, coupling the state and contents of consciousness, functional "latency," a brain anatomic skull comparison of the Last Clade species, symbolic thinking, entropic brain, pooling effect, brain complexity, and emotional dominance in the brain functioning. I concluded that the "latencies" in the brain's functional and sensory processing led to decreased brain entropy. Interestingly, the increase in "latencies" makes more details of the surrounding reality available. The "latencies" manifestation affects brain performance by diminishing the processing speed, while the retarded entropy, the latency causes, decreases the intelligent response to environmental stimuli. It may be the case that latency may affect the general complexity of the brain. Another conclusion regards the precuneus, which contains spindle-shaped cells distinct from pyramidal cells but embedded in the same cortical layer V (five) as the L5p cells, indicating conscious activity. Such neurons play a unique role in social awareness and interoception. Interoception collects and redistributes information; they compose and decompose. The significant evolution of human precuneus in the last 70,000 years may explain why we took a radical behavioral turn compared to other animals. In the meantime, Dr. Emiliano Bruner's studies explain that the precuneus differs from person to person and between races. Therefore, it implies that its configuration modifies among individuals slightly while differentially evolving. Christof Kock and colleagues found experimentally that in the posterior part of the brain exists a "hot spot" that processes conscious information. This location relates to the cerebellar area that encountered significant development in the last 500,000 years, helping the species of the Last Clade to become distinct from monkeys. In writing this material, I tried not to exceed twenty-five pages because readers lose interest in longer texts. After uploading it, I realized I had missed several pieces of relevant information. Hence, I completed the material by adding them to the Discussion section. P.S. Two references that I omitted in this paper I added at "more information."

How we have turned into another species: The Story of hom*o loquens
2020 •
Dan M Mrejeru
It is a book that collects much of my recent work. It describes how a chain of geomagnetic events (geomagnetic excursions) favored several changes in the brain anatomy and mechanism, which changes helped develop an advanced language. The language became a hidden technology that allowed humans to model all other technologies ever invented. This is how we buildup our civilization, where humans became very distinct from other beings on this planet. For all these reasons, I considered that the hom*o sapiens turned, starting 30,000 years ago, into a new species that I called hom*o loquens (the speakingman). This book is available now on amazon.com and offered by many other distributors.
A hypothesis on human evolution^J as the result of forcing by Solar Cycles and Geomagnetic Excursions.pdf

Dan M Mrejeru
This paper aims to introduce a new hypothesis of the Geomagnetic field and its implications on human evolution. Basically, the new hypothesis establishes a direct connection between the solar cycles and the configuration of the Earth's geomagnetic field. However, many other aspects interrelated to the functions of the geomagnetic field are discussed in this 20-page-long paper. Especially the aspect of the C14 isotope's influence on human brain evolution is enlightened.

This is an upgraded version of the same paper uploaded several days ago. I added several new paragraphs to clarify the meanings in the original article. It is the same abstract as in the initial paper.
A Conclave on hom*o loquens evolution.pdf

Dan M Mrejeru
A wrote this paper as a new abstract of my last book The Making, The Rise, and The Future of The Speakingman. However, it contains some information that was drawn from some of my other articles not included in the book. The scope of this paper is to enhance the main aspects of human evolution, which are poorly debated by mainstream science literature. In over 25 years of surfing scientific literature I found very little or no research on the main subjects discussed in my papers and in my books. These subjects are: -I favor the opinion that recently (the last 30,000 years) humans turned into a new species; but this designation requires a distinct view on speciation -I found that "linearization" is the main character that allowed the transition toward a new species; nearly every sound (acoustic) system is linear to a high degree; in modern brain the visual signals are inhibited or their frequency being diminished by acoustic signals; all species that do not speak are nonlinear; eventually modern humans became the first species that is now entirely "linear" -the static language that existed until 40,000-30,000 was not sequential, hence it still was nonlinear, like the rest of Paleolithic behaviors of all hominins and animals -the Paleolithic consciousness, before the dynamic language, was not sequential, either -with the advent of the dynamic language appeared a sequential consciousness that is "linear" -"linearity" makes the distinction between hom*o sapiens and hom*o loquens; however, "linearity" turned associated with "quantification" and "latency." This is how "linearization" conquered our mind in the last 30,000 years by the intermediation of a dynamic language -I found that functional "latency" plays one of the most important role in the achievements of the modern brain because it stands for all our "discoveries" we ever made. P.S. I would like to acknowledge the readers of this paper that in the discussion section I provided several posts where I documented the "process of linearization" and the crucial role played by precuneus and parietal recent and exceptional evolution in humans for processes of "linearization" and "quantification."
