On the nature of intelligence: can the process of evolution be thought to show a form of intelligence? [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by eppur_se_muova (a host of the Science group).

Evolution has shown the ability to produce a spectacular array of elaborate biological processes and organs, yet hardly anyone (as far as I know) credits it with consciousness. As the human race expands its knowledge and experience, will we experience more phenomena where the issue of whether or not intelligence exists there is also perplexing?
