Production systems that already have computer technology are expanded by a network connection and have a digital twin on the Internet so to speak. These allow communication with other facilities and the output of information about themselves. This is the next step in production automation. The networking of all systems leads to " cyber-physical production systems " and therefore smart factories , in which production systems , components and people communicate via a network and production is nearly autonomous.

Introduction to the History of Communication In the first stage, information is passed by genes. In the second state, with the development of agriculture, humans are able to pass information through individual experience. In the third, humans begin to use signs and develop logic. In the fourth, they create symbols, and develop language and writing. Human reproductive capacity exceeds the available resources in the environment. Thus, Lenski concludes, human populations are limited by their capability of food production. Key Points Sociocultural evolution is an umbrella term for theories of cultural evolution and social evolution, describing how cultures and societies have changed over time. Lanski views technological progress as the most basic factor in the evolution of societies and cultures. Lanski distinguishes four stages of human development, based on advances in the history of communication. In these four stages, information is passed on in this order: genetically, individually, through signs, and lastly, through symbols or language. Key Terms shared culture : Lenski claims that members of a society are united by a shared culture, although cultural patterns become more diverse as a society gains more complex technology and information.

  • 2.5 Million Years Ago
    PALEOANTHROPOLOGY y 3 DIASPORA2.5 million years ago Chipped stone artifacts found in Jordan may be evidence of archaic humans leaving Africa 400,000 years earlier than previously thought Marcos Pivetta 2 PUBLISHED IN AUGUST 2019 group of archaeologists and geologists from Brazilian universities claim to have discovered the earliest evidence A of hominins leaving Africa, considered the cradle of humanity. The geological layers in which the chipped stones and flakes were found during excavations made from 2013 to 2016 in Jordan’s Zarqa River valley were dated by three distinct methods and showed a maximum age of approximately 2.5 million years. If the data are correct, the lithic artifacts were produced by the hands of archaic humans belonging to popula- tions of Homo habilis, the first known species of the genus Homo, 400,000 years earlier than the oldest previously known record of hominins living outside the African continent. “Our study changes the history of mankind by almost half a million years,” says bioarchaeologist Walter Neves of the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo (IEA-USP), coor- dinator of the research team that conducted 1 the study in Jordan and wrote the scientific article about its findings.

  • Paleofloras, Paleovegetation and Human Evolution
    Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology 267 (2019) 32–38 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/revpalbo Editorial Paleofloras, paleovegetation and human evolution This special issue is aimed at exploring the links between environ- mental changes and the patterns of biological and cultural evolution of hominins. Its conception arises from the relative imbalance between hominin fossil discoveries and knowledge about paleoenvironments as- sociated with these findings. The collection includes both new records and empirical work, with emphasis on floristic and vegetation features, as their crucial role in shaping landscapes and habitat resources. Within an evolutionary framework, it is this focus that has attracted the interest of a number of scholars concerned with the postulation that selective pressures on Primates in favor of bipedalism could be related to the de- pletion of forests in eastern and central Africa and that in turn this was as a consequence of climatic changes after 6 Ma (Dart, 1925; Sockol et al., 2007). This postulation, so-called Savannah hypothesis, contends that mammalian evolution itself can be related to the spread of more open (C4) grasslands in East Africa after about 10 Ma (Sage, 2004; Feakins et al., 2013; Uno et al., 2016). The evolution of Poaceae during the Paleogene and its ecological success at the biome scale during the Neogene (Carrión, 2003; Willis and McElwain, 2013) can be therefore interpreted as historical contingencies (ss. Gould, 1989, 2002) for human evolution (Fig. 1). Cultural transitions are doubtlessly involved. The emergence of the Oldowan industry and the internal diversification of australopithecines took place within the context of increasing variability in climatic condi- tions after about 2.8 Ma (Bobe et al., 2002; deMenocal, 2004).
