It seems that this was the way that the brain was
progressively 'improved' via evolution. However, we want to compress a
few billion years of evolutionary selective pressure into the next 10
or 100 years instead. Have there been any proposed strategies that try
to take an evolutionary approach on the magnitude that was needed for
human brain evolution?
Yikes, no: my strategy is to piggyback on all that work, not to try to
duplicate it.
Even the Genetic Algorithm people don't (I think) dream of evolution on
that scale.
