This Paper aims to elaborate on the origin of thinking mind. And this is a cooperative project between philosophy and neuroscience and brain science. I have written this paper in admiration for the achievements of twentieth century neuroscience and brain science, and out of desire to assist the subject in future. Much of the history of modern philosophy, from Descartes and Kant forward, consists of failed models of brain. As Edward O. Wilson precisely said, the shortcoming is not the fault of the philosophers, who have doggedly pushed their methods to the limit, but a straightforward consequence of the biological evolution of the brain. Guiding that investigation down pathways that will illuminate brain research is a task of neuroscience and brain science. Investigating logical relations among concepts is a philosophical task. If we are to understand the neural structures and dynamics that make perception, thought, intentional behaviour possible, clarity about these concepts and categories and their relations is essential. Hence our joint venture of philosophy and science. Sure, it is human beings that perceives, not parts of its brain. And it is human beings that who think and reason, not their brain. But the brain and its activities make it possible for human beings-not for it-to perceive and think, to feel emotions, and to form and pursue projects. Thus We try to investigate and reveal the origin of thinking mind as follow: 1) The difference between chimpanzee and human beings 2) brain and mind 3) the origin of thinking 4) the wisdom of nature.

With the availability of complete whole-genomes such as the human, mouse, fugu and chimpanzee chromosome 22, comparative analysis of large genomes from cross-species at varying evolutionary distances is considered one of a powerful approach for identifying coding and functional non-coding sequences. Here we describe a fast and efficient global alignment method especially for large genomic regions over mega bases pair. We used an approach for identifying all similarity regions by HSP (Highest Segment Pair) regions using local alignments and then large syntenic genome based on the both extension of anchors at HSP regions in two species and global conservation map. Using this alignment approach, we examined rearrangement loci in human chromosome 21 and chimpanzee chromosome 22. Finally, we extracted syntenic genome 30 Mb of human chromosome 21 with chimpanzee chromosome 22, and then identified genomic rearrangements (deletions and insertions ranging h size from 0.3 to 200 kb). Our experiment shows that all jnsertion/deletion (indel) events in excess of 300 bp within chimpanzee chromosome 22 and human chromosome 21 alignments in order to identify new insertions that had occurred over the last 7 million years of evolution. Finally we also discussed evolutionary features throughout comparative analyses of Ka/ks (non-synonymous / synonymous substitutions) rate in orthologous 119 genes of chromosome 21 and 53 genes of MHC-I class in human and chimpanzee genome.

Calmodulin (CaM) is a $Ca^{2+}$-binding protein essential for biological functions mediated through $Ca^{2+}$-dependent mechanism. A cDNA clone for CaM was isolated from a cDNA library of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. The CaM cDNA concists of 782 bp and encodes a polypeptide of 149 amino acids with four $Ca^{2+}$-binding motifs EF-hands (EF-I, EF-II, EF-III, and EF-IV). The deduced amino acid sequence of CaM shows 97-100% amino acid sequence identity to other CaM sequences. Semi-quantitative PCR analysis revealed that the CaM transcription was began during early development and the CaM mRNA is expressed highly in brain and intestine, and moderately in kidney, gill, and eye of healthy olive flounder. Taken together, CaM may be necessary for early olive flounder development and that it may have a part in homeostasis.
