The material that was required to read for this reflection gives insight to how the human brain developed and broadened with knowledge. With the discovery of fire the prehistoric humans were able to do many things like cook food, scare off wild animals and ultimately became the hunter instead of the hunted. With this change in the food chain, the humans were able to change their diet and add cooked meat to their diet. This change also affected their brains. The result was a growth in the physical part of the brain as well as cognitively. The meat in their diet caused this change. Being a pre-teaching intern, we are asked to read this kind of material because it helps us to more or less understand how the brain works. With the new information learned, the brain grew in size because it changed the way things had to be learned. Having gained this knowledge on the brain, it helps educators learn what they too will be affecting. Educators will also change the way a person’s brain is by teaching that person.. With the new information, the person will therefore go forward with a new insight on things as well as a brain that grew a little more because of the knowledge. Thus after the prehistoric human managed the use of fire, this lead to other changes including the invention of other things such as writing and the wheel. With the both the invention of the wheel and the invention of writing, the mind grew more and more. With this growth, humans were able to think more and also develop better communication skills. At every part in history where a drastic change affected humans, they gained more knowledge and through natural selection the unnecessary bygones were weeded out and then passed on to the future generation or modern humans are the by-products of a lot of growing of the brain and changes in the everyday life of people. As it is to this day, a child growing in modern times has the know how of any average adult on the latest technology because they are born in the technological era it isn’t hard for them to catch on to the new things that are made. This isn’t the same for the older adult who was used to having minimal uses for technology. I’m almost sure that the expansion of our brains will continue to increase because we are inventing new things each day to assist with our everyday lives. Meaning that in the next hundred years or so, humans may undergo another change in life that will expand the capacity of the brain and allow for an even easier and more comfortable way of living that won’t be strange to anyone.
