THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EVOLUTION AND INFORMATION
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EVOLUTION AND INFORMATION

Summary/Abstract: For most of us, the word evolution is associated with the name of Charles Darwin. In this study, the concept of evolution will be employed in a much broader sense than in that of Darwin. Evolution will be understood not only as a spontaneous constitutive activity of the big bang, which shapes the universe including the Earth, but also as human activity creating culture. Schematically speaking, evolution will be understood as natural and cultural “construology”, which produces forms, order, memory, and information. Since the cultural system is only formed by the reconstruction of older, naturally created structures of the planet Earth, it is evident that cultural evolution does not fit in the framework of natural evolution.
