Hominiscence or the human’s ability to self-evolve

The intersection between science and design has roots in the well-established relationship with daily life forms and structures. The ability of science to get into close contact with the most intimate existent matter, won’t detract from considering the human evolution as a reflection of the acceleration of technologies, which advance on based mimesis mechanisms, according to the path explored by biotechnology. Terms that reflect on the temporal evolution of the increasing philosophical thought and mostly on the dissolution of beliefs rooted in dogmas which slowed down the progress; finally, the scientific thought becomes autonomous and creates new comparison and contamination terms with Design, which incorporates the development model. If we draw a progression line for each stage of the advancing scientific thought, the influence on daily life is reflected in a contamination way; science and its revolutions gather all the results to implement transfer processes in forms and operating mechanisms of tools, of product and service systems and of machines to renew their use and their contents. The recurring question is: how and after what circumstances did science determine or influence the evolution of the human being? To understand the terms of this question it is necessary to retrace Michel Serre’s thought (2001): his theory on the human evolution in relation to science and its most evident result, that is technological innovation, affects the thought and practice of design that developed the method and explored the effects on systems. Serre’s contribution definitively introduces to a manipulation process of the living being, that determines a dynamic, one can define as "Design across scales", according to Joichi Ito’s words, for the features of the investigation methodology that reflects on reproduction mechanisms in other environments and for other purposes.
