Abstract

From the emergence of the human being until today, has been recorded in the history of man, an evolutionary development; this has been as physical, as social, cultural, etc. Which has come down to the present day to express itself and take form of science, technology and knowledge. This means that today, man no longer adapts to his environment through a biological evolution, but through the so-called sociocultural evolution, this concept leads us to ask, then, if the only part of our body that continues to have such evolution is our brain, and if so, is it doing so through technological advancement? This essay exposes two assumptions that several scientists in the field of technology and neuroscience argue about this fact.
