%X It is amply accepted that biological evolution is
centered in gradual phenotypic and genetic changes of living populations
through the time. The issue of human existence has worried the man
since immemorial time. The intriguing concepts of life and consciousness vary
according to the discipline of study. While for West Biologists, life is the
ability to be born, to grow and to die, for Yogis Life is Consciousness which
compenetrates to beings from nature kingdoms. Is human brain still evolving?
The studies of neuroscience, based on classical well-known triune brain
proposed by Dr Paul MacLean around the year 1960, estimate that in the human
brain resides the genealogical tree of the species as a result of the evolution
of millions of years starting from the brain structure of the reptiles. This
involves the well-known three levels of the reptilian brain (intinction), the
limbic brain (emotions) and the neocortex brain (rationality). Like the
biological evolution, it is also possible to consider a spiritual evolution
through also different kingdoms of nature. The
neuroscientists say that modern man has developed only one-third of his brain
capacity. According to this background, the main point of this study is to
postulate during next millennia the development of improved neocortex II or ¡°intuitional
brain¡± with
neural networks prevailing human noble qualities and subtle essential unity among beings. Today neurological studies
reveal that network design of interconnected neurons
