Anticipative Anti-Anti-Anthropomorphism

We argue that the evolutions of Anticipative Capability and evolution itself are broadly equivalent. Key to establishing this equivalence is the adoption of a viewpoint which rejects both 19th century anthropomorphism and late 20th century anti-anthropomorphism in favour of an anti-anti-anthropomorphic stance which presupposes the continuity of evolvability and AC between blind dependence on Newton's Laws and human technological control. We suggest that Darwinian Evolution is a late product of the evolution of evolution, and that the early random nature of evolution has been progressively modified towards a more directed anticipative form by first simulating Anticipative Capability - e.g. in amoebas and the Venus flytrap - then later implementing it - e.g. in insects and animals.
