ABSTRACT
There is more to the human beings than flesh and bone. This chapter presents ideas on evolution beyond the physical. It includes evolution of thinking, evolution of societies and cultures, and political and economic evolution. It also presents a short section on evolutionary synthesis. Animals possess some power of reasoning: pause, deliberate and resolve. Human population growth during the two and a half centuries was phenomenal: from about a billion to over 6 billion. One should think that the deep-rooted Indian caste system too began as an economically beneficial occupational categorization that was certainly desirable as long as it did not result in gross inequalities in the standards of living. In regard to the evolution of the scientific method, there are two components: common sense-based knowledge, and science itself. In the historical past, there was fear among scientists in regard to publicizing their ideas.
