I believe it means that the human mind has developed technical, natural history, social and linguistic intelligences, and that the technical, natural history, social, and linguistic intelligences are the things which quest, imagine and suggest new constructs. So, grammatically, no, the "ing" forms refer to what the different types of intelligences have done throughout history. But, if you're talking about semantics, the human mind created these intelligences, so I would say that it is referring to what the human mind did by using these intelligences. Hope that makes sense! :)
