Evolution of Human Intelligence; Psychological Science for a Better World

This multidisciplinary study addresses pressing societal issues such as terrorism, crime, divorce , homicides, theft, bribery, corruptions, war, and drug abuse by exploring their underlying psychological roots. Identifying over 3,000 "mind viruses" that distort human intelligence and decision-making, this research proposes a transformative approach to mental health through the introduction of 3,000 positive "healthy mind viruses." By examining the evolution of intelligence from a biological perspective and considering the implications of consciousness in the context of an afterlife, the study suggests that a psychological framework based on the 'eight-fold path' may serve as an effective method for identifying and mitigating these detrimental influences. Additionally, it explores concepts like nature and nurture, the distinction between clock time and psychological time, and the pursuit of true happiness, answering over forty innovative big questions. A 3D graph illustrating the mechanisms of individual and social intelligence evolution underscores the potential for fostering a more harmonious world.
