Adaptation and Techne

Adaptation To and Adaptation Of are combined in Techne.  The sharpness of an axe is an Adaptation To the hardness of a tree, the knowledge of which is a pre-condition for an Adaptation Of a tree, via chopping it down, for building, a fireplace, etc.  Likewise, Knowledge of the laws of Gravity and that the Earth spins on its axis, is a precondition for extraterrestrial travel.  In other words, Theoretical Knowledge is an Adaptation To, and putting it to use is an Adaptation Of, the combination of which is Techne, i. e. Knowing-How.  Plainly, that combination has been the motor of Human history, especially the past 500 years, with a potential transcending of its original environment already underway.  So, Techne is an integral factor in Human-Earth Adaptation, as Genesis 3 recognizes perhaps better than Darwinists.
