The term cognitive fluidity describes how a modular primate mind has evolved into modern human mind by combining different ways of process knowledge and using tools to create a modern civilization. By arriving at original thoughts, which are often highly creative and rely on metaphor and analogy modern humans differ from archaic humans. As such, cognitive fluidity is a key element of the human attentive consciousness.
