Introduction

The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. What is technology? To understand technology you have to use a very expansive definition of technology. Chimpanzees using sticks to fish for termites was first example ever recorded of tool use by a species other than human. Turmite fishing involves breaking a twig off of a tree, removing its leaves, and then poking it into a nest to collect ants to eat. The various groups also did different things with their hands. Culture is a form of technology. Cultural evolution versus natural evolution.
