Abstract
Human intelligence is acquired through a prolonged period of maturation and growth during which a single fertilized egg first turns into an embryo, then grows into a newborn baby, and eventually becomes an adult individual—which, typically before growing old and dying, reproduces. The developmental process is inherently robust and flexible, and biological organisms show an amazing ability during their development to devise adaptive strategies and solutions to cope with environmental changes and guarantee their survival. Because evolution has selected development as the process through which to realize some of the highest known forms of intelligence, it is plausible to assume that development is mechanistically crucial to emulate such intelligence in human-made artifacts.
