Abstract

In this article, I will contend that robotic dispositives gradually emerge between about 400,000 and 30,000 years ago, as the genus Homo gradually defines the processes and institutions characterizing their culture; and that this emergence is directly linked to a phenomenon scarcely focused on by scholars but of enormous importance for our species: the convergence and connection between the two previously autonomous practices of discoursing and mark-making.
