Cyborg i maszyna – od tego wszystko się zaczyna! O początkach techniki i cyborgizacji w pradziejach
CYBORG AND MACHINE – THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTS! ON THE ORIGINS OF TECHNOLOGY AND CYBORGIZATION IN PREHISTORY

Summary/Abstract: Starting from Mumford's concept of the machine, the text combines anthropological, archaeological, historical and philosophical themes to outline the transformation of human beings from the earliest prehistoric epochs to the present day. The trajectory thus set out to trace technological threads in human “nature” ranges from the anthropological concept of shamanism and magic, to the question about the beginning of the technicism of human culture from the perspective of prehistory, to the specific visions of the first robots and artificial intelligence in ancient Greece and their theologically-converted reception in the Age of Enlightenment. The article also includes a brief outline of the essence of technics, going back to the early metal age and having to do with the fusion of technology and mathematics that have taken place then.
