Evolutionary and Historical Models on Rise and Evolution of early Technical Systems (Early Technical Systems Evolution Models).

摘要

The common view for the origins and significance of human technology is that it is an adaptive capacity for genus Homo. Even though, it is lacking the introduction of evolutionary and biological criteria to its comprehension. Only some classical works were devoted to theoretical lines on that way, e.g. that of V.G. Childe (Childe, 1956) and D. Clarke (Clarke, 1978). Some conceptions and models about technology as adaptive strategy for, at least, humans, the questions related to lithic technology traditions, and their spatial adaptation and evolution have to be discussed. That is to say, analytical systems for the study of technology have to be designed just for describing and explain_ing the following contradiction that will drive the origin and further evolution of technical systems: the adaptive basis for technology facing its cultural development.
