I do not agree at all that logic is the basis of thought. One also would tend to guess that in the depths of prehistory, back when humans did not even have the first traces of a language, logic was not there, yet thinking always had to be there.

My impression is that logic appeared with time, as a sort of 'only way to go is this one' progression. Afterall, logical thought does have the tendency to protect a thinker against all sorts of psychological pain.
Again you mistake formal logic for what I'm talking about. It's not like that. What is your computer processor made of? Logic gates. Microscopic machines that perform logical operations. Likewise too is the hardware of the brain

I am sure you realise the above is way too general, to the point of becoming redundant?

We had this discussion before about identifying things to external stuff, and what the external stuff 'itself' functions as.

And why are you sure that even such specific 'either or' conditions in the human mental world are something which exists by itself, and not founded upon layers of not at all so specific or distinct mental connections, and unconscious stuff? Cause the latter seems far more intuitively evident and correct. And that would always predate any formation of distinct stuff you term as 'logic but not formal logic'.
