UNITY through DIVERSITY might be also applicable to INFORMATION (1)

INFORMATION, what for?

Supported by fossil information it has been claimed that the
emergence of our ancestral genus Australopithecus was caused by
evolutionary processes that occurred through the survival endeavours
of arm-swinging higher primates.

Some other information obtained also by means of research has obliged
to recognize that human characters are less specialized than those of
the apes. Therefore it has been argued that the characters of humans
were the outcome of evolutionary processes happening through the
performance of the Old World monkeys.

Based on additional data after recalling in humans the absence of a
tail, the form of the foot, the presence of a vermiform appendix, the
form of the thorax, the retarded growth, the great flexibility of
behavior,Š it has been asserted that humans and African apes had a
common ancestry. This information suggests that other kind of
evolutionary processes led the Hominidae to become the genus Homo
around 1.3 million years ago.

Anyhow the fossil evidence and the various ways diverse data about
earlier primates have been interpreted and later arranged (or vice
versa) after being speculatively confronted have been considered a
successful final outcome of diverse evolutionary processes which
rather mysteriously modified and presumably improved the
self-organizing possibilities in the domain of the human species.
After all, the whole SELF ORGANIZING chances appear as something
intrinsic to the functionality of every living being.

Today, in spite of controversial arguments and even contradictory
judgements it cannot be denied that our ancestors who belonged to the
Ramapithecus made possible the emergence of the Australopithecus
Africanus and its existence from 5.5 to 1.5 million years BP because
they learnt through communication of information- though unaware of
what they were learning - to develop a certain gregariousness
inherited from ancient primates.

Apparently it has been always this gregariousness what has led the
groups of hominids to organize their survival efforts by means of
cooperative actions such as gathering, hunting, defense, offense,Š
after being conceived as necessary options derived from the way the
so called information about the surrounding reality was interpreted
while being integrated (or vice versa).

Anyhow it seems convenient to notice that in those years there were
some hominids who managed relatively well the integration of the
related information necessarily through oral means.

It seems indeed to be sufficiently evident that our hominid ancestors
managed well to identify more and more and always better some of the
causal interactions that were taking place in the surroundings
basically because they learnt to communicate among them by means of
speech in order to transfer information of questions, subjects or
matters and also events and happenings that they had perceived and
necessarily interpreted under the influence of diverse cultural bias.

Since those years all the hominids have been searching how to
organize better their individual and collective way of life by means
of cooperative endeavors arranged through oral communication among
individuals who were increasingly motivated to cooperate.
