Olá a todos!
Hi everybody!
How did we get here?
How did we become what we are today?

Were there unique moments in which significant facts happened in nature’s evolution?
Like for example: � the advent of life, or� the introduction of technology:
� the fire,
� the wheel,� etc.
The human being in a technological prospective ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Like some superior and divine intervention!
Or is all of that fruit of a gradual and continuous evolution?
The human being in a technological prospective ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Does technology changes the rules of natural selection?
Does technology changes the natural evolution of the human beings?
