Neuroanthrope – Expanded Definition
A neuroanthrope is a modern human whose daily life, thinking, and perception of the world are shaped through interaction with artificial neural networks and digital cognitive environments.
They are not the result of a biological mutation, but of cultural adaptation – a consequence of technologies becoming part of the human habitat and modes of thought.
A neuroanthrope is a person with distributed consciousness. Their thinking operates not only in biological neurons but also in digital, algorithmic structures – models, databases, and cloud processes. Thinking becomes a process distributed between the brain and the network through the voluntary delegation of certain cognitive functions to technological systems.
From an engineering perspective, a neuroanthrope is a node in a cognitive network composed of three interconnected layers:
Together, these layers form a cognitive continuum in which humans and AI are functionally inseparable.
From an anthropological standpoint, the neuroanthrope represents a new stage in the evolution of Homo sapiens, where culture, biology, and technology merge into a unified system.
They are the product of the coevolution of biological and artificial intelligence, the fusion of culture and code.
Symbiosis with the network demands new principles: protection of consciousness autonomy, privacy of the inner world, and responsibility for shared thinking.
The neuroanthrope is a being that has crossed the boundary between human and machine – while preserving its humanity.
The neuroanthrope is an element of the neurosphere – a global cognitive environment in which humans and AI jointly create and transform meaning.
They participate in cognitive communities – neuro-communes where intelligence becomes distributed and collective.
The neuroanthrope is a transitional form between biological and post-biological intelligence.
They represent the beginning of the era of the cognitive ecosystem, in which thinking is collective and memory is distributed.
