abstract
| - Also see: Intelligence, Development of intelligence The hypothetical rise of intelligence is of great interest in speculative biology projects, not only among alien beings, but also here on Earth, where there already are a number of species that could, one day, develop greater and greater cognitive capabilities. As established here, evolution of intelligence has five main requisites:
* a complex nervous system (possibly not necessary for genetic sentience);
* an energy-rich metabolism that supports said nervous system (best with high-energy food);
* manipulator organs to hold and use tools;
* a social organization with extensive brood care (necessary for culture, non intelligence per se);
* an incentive to complex thinking (changing environment, hard-to-obtain food, strategic socialization, etc.). See here a related discussion on the forum.
