─Technology is the violent nature of our species


During these first two chapters (I don't know yet how many there will be) I

violence as a detonator of technology, although also the psychoactive


substances are fundamental, since they stimulated the curiosity of the "most


developed animal" in the forms of intelligence on earth. I believe, then, that

developed concepts thanks to the scientific method. Since the distance in

history of mankind (Paleolithic era), this was probably due to the


abundance of these rocks in nature. And because the hominids discovered


through mistakes and successes both its hardness and its relative ease of


working. But flint was a fundamental part in the development of


civilization as this rock was used for the generation of fire sparks. Obsidian


was also carved in prehistoric times before man used metal weapons, tools


and utensils. Rocks that appear as volcanic glass were preferred by


hominids that, with practice and skill, learned to obtain elongated flakes as
