Document Summary
Gene can"t predict every environmental circumstances nor governor organism"s. Gene needs to make prediction in unpredictable environment. Different species evolve to solve time lag problem differently responses to environments. Produces numerous offsprings and hatch and reach reproductive. Overwhelm the time lag problem by offsprings. Time lag problem is less since they have short lifespan. Plan accordingly so we can figure out complicated new way to the future appropriately. Brain executives first and as it develops, make more decision. Many evolved learning mechanism design to learn specific thing in specific. Evolved prepared learning mechanism to help us to learn a certain thing. By prepared but not the other things. The biology and genetics of the organism contribute greatly to its". Conditioned to the sauce with illness after one trial. Associated with things one saw earlier in the mind. Enhanced attention relevant to survive/reproduction within ancestral ecologies. Since snakes are common to our ancestors.
