Abstract
Human intelligence is characterized by the use of language rather than the brain hardware. The human brainware consists of a neural system as hardware and a language system as software. Language was created by the brain hardware, and the human brain evolved together with language over millions of years. It is, therefore, necessary to take two approaches to create the human brain: a hardware-centered approach and a software-centered approach. While the hardware-centered approach is based on computational neuroscience, it is possible to base the software-centered approach on linguistics.
