Why is psychokinesis not part of our biology ?
Not part of Earth's Biology

The idea of psychokinesis, being part of our biology, is one that is not
supported by the theory of evolution, which is the source of life on
this planet. The argument offered, on this page, is only for
those
who believe in the process called evolution. Supporting arguments, against
the existence of psychokinesis in living things on this planet, are
based on evolution, and the Jungian collective unconscious.
Evolution,
based on the survival of the fittest, has always found a way to use
everything in the biological toolkit for preying, defense, mating, and
social interaction, in general. If psychokinesis, was indeed part of
our biology; somehow, somewhen, a given critter would have found a way
to use it.
Some of the tools, that are known to be used in our biology, are as
follows:
Size and speed for both defense and preying.
Biochemistry
for defense, preying, and social interaction, in the forms of toxins,
pheromones, and other biochemical signals -- snakes and scorpions use
nerve toxins, plants use chemical alarm signals, and almost every other
species use pheromones, and other biochemical substances for social
interaction.
Electricity is used by some animals for preying and defense -- eels use
electric shocks.
Sound
is used for preying, defense, and social interaction -- whales and
dolphins use sonar blasts for preying; elephants use subsonic calls for
long-distance communication; and, almost every other species use sound
for social interaction.
The visual spectrum is used, for
everything, by most living animal species. Snakes and insects use
infrared for navigation and preying. Some species use the visual
spectrum for mimetic defense.
Even if a given species, with
psychokinetic abilities, became extinct; sooner or later, another one
would rediscover the benefit of their use, just as toxins, pheromones,
sound calls, etc., were rediscovered.
The other argument is
based on the Jungian idea of the collective unconscious. If
psychokinesis was part of our biology, sooner or later, through human
history, a critter with such abilities would have come to our
attention. Man being man, would have tried to capture the magic of any
such critter. If, the critter was an insect, we would have crushed it,
boiled it, smoked it, ingested it in some form or another, to see what
effect it would have on our mind; like we did with many plant
substances, or animal parts that we believe were imbued with magic --
peyote is an example of such a substance.
The tale of
attempts, successfull or not, to capture such magic, would have
traveled down, through human history, to our ears; and, many tribes and
cultures would have differing tales of the same attempts. Those tales
would, usually, take the form of quests with the lone hunter archetype,
as hero.
N.B.
If you believe, you were engineered or kidnapped by aliens, then you
probably evolved; or, were bred or modified to have psychokinetic
abilities. Then, there is, obviously, no discussion to be had.
N.B.
People who believe in psychokinesis are either delusional or outright frauds.
