Description : Posthumanism and Technological Evolution explore the intersection of humanity and technology, challenging traditional human-centric perspectives. Posthumanism critiques anthropocentrism, emphasizing human-technology and human-nonhuman entanglements, hybrid identities, and ethical considerations in a post-Anthropocene era. It questions what it means to be "human" in a world shaped by artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and cybernetics. Technological evolution focuses on advancements like robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology, driving rapid societal and biological transformations. Both fields consider the implications of human enhancement, the ethics of innovation, and the potential for a posthuman future. Together, they offer critical insights into humanity’s shifting role within an interconnected, tech-driven world.
