Human society greatly values intelligence and considers it a decesive factor in educational achievement, work success and the socioeconomic development of countries. The concept of intelligence and its measurement is analyzed, including the types of intelligence(s), fluid and crystalized intelligence, ontogenetic develoment, the evolutionary origins of intelligence, and related topics. The research problems to be investigated in this area are presented. Intelligence as adaptation capacity to a changing environment has had a decisive importance in the phylogenetic evolution of human beings.
