Mutation and Technology

The cardinal moment in Evolution is Mutation, the origin of any new development. However, an evolutionary step is incomplete until the novelty, e. g. opposing thumbs, is integrated into the established behavior of an organism. Now, technology is an extension of the body, e. g. a fork is fingernails. Hence, Technology has the Evolutionary status of Mutation. Thus, similarly, a process of integration is required for the incorporation of novel potentials into established practices. So, 'Economics', as Smith and Marx, but not necessarily predecessors, conceive it, is a program for the adjustment of society to Industrialization. Accordingly, the evaluations of Capitalism and Marxist Socialism from the perspective of Evolutionism are as such adjustments.
