Btw., some biologists think that the concept of evolution should not be used unless it involves genes. The theory of evolution may then not be seen as an universal concept. Well then again, in cultural context the theory of memes uses genes as an analogy for evolution of ideas.

I’d like to continue from Teemu’s answer.

Firstly, I believe that the new practices of networking, information exchange and real-time context-specific action & learning are not a step away from natural human action and thinking. Quite the contrary, they are more _native_ to human action and thinking than is the old-school one-directional, top-down driven action and thinking. Organizations are becoming more like organisms – more like us. I see this as a very welcome direction.

Secondly, evolution is not only biological but a strongly social phenomenon. Civilisation as we know it is founded on social, not biological advancements. In this sense, yes, as a human race, we need to change and evolve; we need to embrace these new tools and ways of thinking in order to face the challenges posed before us.

PS. Teemu: The DNA is natively double helix; triple helices are anomalies
