CYBERNETIC INTERPRETATION OF PREHISTORY

The present inquiry proceeds from the cybernetic historiosophy propose d by the author elsewhere. The history of society or socium is conside red as the second phase of cybernetic evolution, the first phase of wh ich was the bioevolution. The so-called prehistory is the initial stag e of history when the socium as a special form of cybernetic system ar ose, and, during the hominization, ancestors of humans were becoming a nd transforming in the end into Homo sapiens. The major causes of the emergence of society are studied and interpreted from the cybernetic p erspective. The main conclusion is that the intrusion of nonbiological elements or technology into structures and functions of animal commun ity (of Hominids) was the primary cause of the appearance of the human being with his salient biological features such as bipedality, human hand and brain as well as of the emergence of ''natural'' or acoustic language, culture, tradition, sociality, politics, work, production, e conomics, and other social phenomena which arose concomitantly or subs equently and brought eventually into existence society as distinct fro m any animal community.
