MENTAL DEVELOPMENT AND MUTATION RATE DURING ANTHROPOGENES
It is shown that the decrease in mutation rate in humans by 3 times compared with anthropoid apes, discovered by geneticists, is associated with an evolutionary increase in brain volume, or the number of neurons, and an equivalent increase in the degree of development thepsycheandconsciousnessin Homo Sapiensancestorsduringanthropogenesis. Apparently, this effect is associated with epigenetic processes, as a result of which an increasing degree of organization of the central nervous system, psychics and consciousness, that reduces the speed of mutations. According to the obtained relations, the increasing informational order of the psyche reduces the entropy of mutation processes in the genome.
