		Evolution and a civilization.
	What kind of conception would civilization be ? If it reads the first of the item of "civilization" in Koujien(Japanese language dictionary), there is the explanation that it is the clear situation of human knowledge because of the widely spreading education. However, it doesn't seem, to all appearances it can understand civilization in only the explanation like that so clearly though it may be possible to perceive the outline of civilization for the moment. Probably, it seems it is because the objective standard and the concrete concept isn't so clear. In that reason, the Koujien states the concrete explanation as follows after the above explanation. "The word of "civilization" expresses the social circumstances keeping the excellent convenience by the continuous use of the machines or other." (It was summarized short because the actual explanation is very long.). And, as for a culture, it is explained in the meaning of the narrow sense by the following two conceptualization. "A mental culture is defined as culture. And, a material culture is defined as civilization.". However, it needs the more structural concepts for the following reasoning. Thereupon, the conception of civilization is defined in the next method. 1. The enumeration of the communities on the history. 2. The extraction of the communities once recognized as civilization. 3. And, the extracted communities like that are compared with other communities. Then, the characteristics of the existence called a civilization are enumerated from the above works. In other words, the general concept of culture and the general concept of civilization are extracted as the meaning of the narrow sense in the method like that. However, it doesn't adopt the subjective concept that only European nations and America, and so on are the civilized nation. Then, it dare to not state the detailed process about this method because it is already known well. By the way, the characteristics of a civilization found out by the above method are the definite specialization systems to be stated in the following. 1, The increase in the kind of the job and the increase in the amount of work which occur in the inside of the community. 2, Each organization to be concerned with the life base, that is, the farming, industry, trade, communication, distribution, etc. 3, The existence of the specialist group supporting the above specialization systems. And, it is said the above specialist group roughly are classed to the next 3 field, that is, it is a mental field, a scientific field, a technological field. In passing, the nucleus of the military strength roughly is the armed forces. Moreover, the powers' sword like that is turned to the inside of the community at the certain situation as a time though it should be originally turned to the foreign invaders. So, the culture to be defined here is the mental footing supporting the above division of labor. Moreover, there is the theoretical footing born of the certain tenet or mental atmosphere to the undercurrent of mental footing generally. And, the mental footing like that is classed as the next items, that is, it is religion, various learning and the various technology supported by the learning or other, and a guiding principle, the life custom, etc. (The guiding principle often overlaps with the religion.). Then, at the community, those materialize with the concrete forms. That is, it is a politics system, an economic system, the fine arts style, a life-style, a style of architecture, and so on. Moreover, the concrete forms of the machines and tools and so on also are the appearance of culture as well. In passing, the concrete form like that is for example, its kind, its shape, its performance etc. In other words, it is said the whole of the forms existing like that is civilization in the meaning of the so-called narrow sense. Though this is the figure of speech, if it likens a culture to a painter's mind, technology, and so on, it can think civilization is the painter's work, that is, the expression of painter's mind. Therefore, it can't assert a culture necessarily bears a civilization. At any rate, the future consideration about civilization and culture is based on the above conceptions. By the way, if the movement factor producing civilization is considered biologically, what kind of thing would it be ? First of all, it has to think about the division of labor. If the division of labor doesn't occur, above specialized system can't exist. In other words, it means the concrete forms in the civilization don't exist. If so, it can say the civilization itself can't exist. Therefore, it isn't allowed the division of labor lacks for a civilization. Even if it is so, why would specialization occur ? It seems it can find out the reason easily. As you see, it seems that it is because the community craves the smooth and efficient management for the various social activities. And, the craving like that grows especially in the community possessing the fertile land or in the community maintaining the favorable economic conditions. It, needless to say, is because the high level division of labor is necessary especially in the society like that. By the way, the primary factors producing the craving like that are the following pressures. 1, The increase in the kind of the job and the increase in the amount of work which are caused in the inside of the community. 2, The various ill effect from the uncontrolled condition among the community members. 3, A natural menace. 4, The situation that other community is adjoined to the said community. (In this case, the "adjoined" includes the economical meaning and the psychological meaning, and so on. ). In other words, if the community isn't managed efficiently and smoothly, the above pressures don't permit the community to exist. Therefore, the community like that is forced to do the smooth and efficient management about all the organizations. The growth of the specialization and division of labor is promoted in the reason like that. Therefore, it can think the civilization is a kind of organism brought by the growth like that. If it can think the creature's logic acts to the formation of a civilization, it reaches to the conclusion like that. Thereupon, visualize the situation where the spores are organized by amebas, while comparing it to the characteristic of civilization. It is because it seems that the formation of the spores has the same characteristic as the birth of the civilization. And it seems that the characteristic like that is fundamentally based on the defense reaction of both a organism and a society. The community and ameba group and so on strongly control each individual's desire and ability if they fall into the crisis or meet to the various pressure. Moreover, the individuals are organized to compose the various organs or organization. In other words, as it thought, it can say the community and so on in this case were born as the huge organism, organizing the individuals. And, this movement factor is the instinct of species-preservation, is the craving for the preservation of the genetic information, if it is seen from the viewpoint of the sauce. Or, by any chance, that movement factor may be born of the craving of someone for the perception. It is because evolution of creature and civilization bring the certain kind of wisdom for the certain persons though it is certain it brings the certain kind of degeneration for the certain people. At any rate, the community called a civilization is really one creature. Even if it thinks it is a huge mushroom, it would never be the mistake. Therefore, if an internal and external environment becomes gentle, the community may lose the centripetal force. And, if so, each individual may behave almost with the individual's logic. It is so that the spores are sown to the ground, bursting. However, it seems our civilization is intending to make his organization the more precise system if the present circumstances are seen. And, if so, since it seems the human being is organized as one organ of the community all the more, it seems the individuals' independence and humanity are lost increasingly. However, it can say the cerebral new cortex of mankind is developing remarkably if it is compared to other creature. Therefore, he has the clear ego. In other words, it seems it is impossible that a human being become an organ completely. And, if so, how long and in which extent would a human's brain be able to keep holding the patience against the civilization's request that he should continue to live as such a organ ? Or else, would the human being unable to hold the patience only die out ? By any chance, it may be that only the human able to live as an organ can survive. If the theory of Darwin is proper, and if the civilization is born by the irreversible change of a community, each individual will be changed to the creature like that probably. In other words, new species will be created by the individual selection. However, would it be really so ? If it considers the mentioned equation in the fourth knot, it seems the organism do evolution when the vector of the change indicates the direction of evolution. In passing, if it thinks the spaces for evolution, it seems there are the same area and the same time and the community of the same species and the mixture community of the different species, and so on. Then, the spaces like that function as the axis of aspect of actual evolution at the equation of evolution. Therefore, it seems it should understand once more the individual selection of Darwin's theory, considering the border between a individual and colony to be unclear. (It rewrote this part, changing the contents a little in February, 2005). The human being is not an ant, and he has the respectable brain. Therefore, it seems human evolution is influenced by the characteristic of brain like that. Would the brain of human being do evolution like the chip of the computer toward the specialization ? Or else, even if human brain keep supporting the civilization, each individual may keep doing evolution so that it isn't assimilated to the civilization. In passing, the individual as the creature thinks the recognition of the community often one's recognition almost unconsciously though the recognition of the civilization is not the recognition of the individual as it is so. At any rate, it seems that human evolution advance toward either direction if the civilization doesn't close. However, it doesn't seem there is the former possibility if it considers the history of evolution of the brain. It is because it seems it is the contradiction that an brain with the excellent logic ability hasn't the definite ego. Furthermore, it is because it seems the specialization of the brain entails the degeneration of the brain. In passing, it seems it also can apply this problem to the reversible ability of the brain as well. It is very serious problem if it considers the present social condition. It is because it seems the degeneration of the brain(discreet mind) destroys the civilization and the culture. Therefore, it seems the excellent brain always are necessary for the civilization. As it stated in former knot, it is because it is very difficult that the mere organs, that is, the parts of living body think and solve the problem of the whole. Therefore, at least the genetic factor and the creature's logic wouldn't choose the degeneration like that if it is under the condition the human being doesn't disturb the harmony of the lives activity about the whole of the creature. It is because obviously it is unfavorable for the lives activities. Therefore, the genetic factor or the creature's logic makes the civilization finished probably if the dangerous sign appears for the lives activity. And, the individuals are returned to the nature. The purpose, of course, is the preservation of the brain able to support next civilization with the flexible imagination. However, that aspect looks to be different a little from the burst of the spores. It is because it doesn't seem the human being like that has the preparation for the changed environment since it is accustomed to the civilization too much. Therefore, even if human being is returned to the nature, it seems it is considerably difficult they survive. If so, it seems the creature's logic chooses the latter course when the civilization try to make a human being evolve if the creature's logic permits the thing. In other words, it seems that the mankind, while keeping holding the independence as the individual, does evolution if human being doesn't disturb the harmony of the lives activity about the whole of the creature. Of course, in this case, it is necessary that mankind doesn't use his gene in the suspicious purpose intentionally. If not, it seems that it can't assert the dangerous conditions, that is, the degeneration of the brain don't happen.
