Human Evolution began nearly 6 million years ago and it stands as a testament to the litany process that our ancestors went through to ultimately become anatomically modern humans. We have brains roughly three times as large as those of our early ancestors that lived 4 million to 2 million years ago. Given evolution’s trajectory, could creating artificially created cognitive beings be the next chapter of humanity? A startling thought, but the history of evolution indicates that we may be the last apes standing in a sea of cyber sapiens. The lines between humans and machines, biology and technology, reality and virtuality, all seems to be dramatically consumed by our desire to coevolve our tools. Transhumanists foretell a time when sentient beings will emerge who will literally be part biology and part machine. It makes sense. Happy reading!
