Evolución 4.0 | Javier Cabo | TEDxUDIMA


towards where humanity evolves
where we are heading as a species
from a scientific perspective
as philosophical and even humanistic
the theme of the evolution of humanity
it’s a topic that has always worried me
the human species
from all margins like the
origin of life and the origin of
species
for thousands of millions of years all
life on earth so much life
animal as plant life have gone
evolving and developing
together from a single
origin
we evolved towards immortality
concept this as we know so ingrained
and so longed for since the origins of the
humanity precisely because of fear the
anguish to the conscience of the
mortality
or we evolved towards transhumanism
starting from the concept of
transhumanism as the search
of a new species fusion of the human
with the technological, creating a symbiosis
between man and the machine between
man and artificial intelligence
personally I think none of
these concepts is valid
Immortality does not exist and the race
human will continue to be a race
human for all eternity what
this is a reality is that every time the
longevity is greater
Life expectancy is greater
survival is greater and this leads to
that people age more and more
aging that unlike what
that some say they talk about
aging as a disease is not
an aging disease equal
that death are evolutionary processes of
life and as such you have to assume the
that we have all beings in common
alive all living beings we have in
common that we are made up of atoms
inorganic matter that comes together forming
molecules these molecules are forming
progressively all the bases
nitrogenated form the carbohydrates
lipids proteins
that are the constituents of all the
lifetime
at the level of biological evolution
life started four billion ago
of years life began by processes
physical and chemical where matter
inorganic the atoms joined in
molecules these gave rise to proteins
as I say nitrogenous bases and salvas
entered gene fairies the first ones were created
cells the cells with a nucleus and
cytoplasm eukaryotic cells already
from them they were created later
and all multicellular organisms to
biological production level all
we have the same components as
we are saying that is to say we are all
formed by atoms the human body
is made up of atoms we are matter
inorganic mostly carbon hydrogen
oxygen nitrogen and phosphorus
all living beings are formed
for those elements those elements that are
they go together they go forming cells like
we said earlier is to make them
they form tissues they form organs and those
organs and those cells through the
DNA replication are created from
new continuously
On a biological level, we can say that
according to the laws of the
thermodynamic especially with the second
the law of thermodynamics in entropy
the human being the evolution of being
human is death the disintegration
due to the metabolism where
humanity evolves we must
ask what will be the future of our
species
we will continue to evolve as they did
our ancestors what influence has
the advances of technology over
our organisms that are the
questions that we can ask ourselves
of these questions
the answer logically then it is
speculative uncertain but what yes
it is clear what is clear is that
the future of humanity will depend
totally of the future of the medicine of
future of medicine as a science
which is now a science
multidisciplinary that is integrated
so much for the genomic engineering
genetics nanotechnology the
artificial intelligence and robotics
all this leading us towards a medicine
increasingly advanced towards a medicine
personalized and towards a medicine
regenerative medicine that we will see
implanted throughout the next
decades in all countries
civilized
we are going medicine towards the
technological uniqueness
we are entering full already we are
within the third great revolution of
humanity the technological revolution
where there are tremendous disruptive changes
and where the source the raw material
are the data the information
transformed into data data so much
structured as the structured
we are involved in medicine
within ubiquitous computing
We’re in medicine
totally connected where the
artificial intelligence in robotics
what they do is improve the processes
assistance improve quality
assistance improve the effectiveness
efficiency and intelligence effectiveness
artificial and ubiquitous computing with great
development of nanotechnology and with great
application development as you can
be this we see biometric sensors
through which we can continue
perfectly to the patients and seeing
your vital signs without having to
moving to a hospital also has
great influence within medicine
of the future and what we are talking about
inclusion of humanity medicine
genomic gene medicine and about
all through the new tools
as the per cap that what it allows is
avoid correcting and cutting off parts of
DNA molecules
that will allow us to remove part of
possible congenital diseases before
that the patient is born another great
breakthrough in tissue engineering with the
3d printing as we can see here are
experimental models yet but that
the evolution is towards engineering
tissue and 3d pressure especially with
other stem cells we have the bio
prosthesis we have here for example the
bionic eyes articulated prostheses
of limbs where we improve by being
human and we give you a chance to
have a practically normal life that
otherwise it would be very limited to the
person are logically prostheses
smart biologicals that can be
apply to the human being
also tissue engineering with the
stem cells to make cultures of
skin for example
advanced technologies like this that
allows you to maintain hearts and improve
Transplant techniques prolonging
the ischemia time avoiding that
way the increase in mortality and
graft viability we also have
the possibility of creating organs
Synthetic artificial organs such as
heart to be able to keep people
that otherwise they would be dead
because they have no other possible solution
how is this for example a heart
artificial that this child could support
alive for eight months until
moment and that a donor heart arrived and
we could do the transplant
with the organ totally adjusted to its
saw as compatibility or as this other
case of patients with insufficiency
cardiac terminal that they could not were not
susceptible to transplant
heart disease and had to be implanted
Total artificial heart in the patient
to be able to continue living all these
they are techniques that have been developed
thanks to biomedical engineering and that
They give a little insight into where they are going
humanity another of the great advances
undoubtedly in robotic surgery
robotic surgery that allows you to do
complex surgeries do surgeries with
great precision and even being able to make them
at a distance like this robotic surgery
that at this moment you are doing that
it’s a revascularization surgery
myocardial with an artery graft
mammary
this surgery as we see can be done
with great precision that they are
seeing you now is the artery
breast that has been addressed through
a two-millimeter incision through
of the thorax and those arms are
robotic articulated are designing the
mammary artery of the vein to be able
then do the anastomosis at
coronary arteries in short
we are seeing that the integration of
robotic surgery genomics the
nanotechnology and intelligence
artificial are enhancing the creation
not of a new human race but of what
that I call humans
technologically improved is not that the
person is going to become a robot
it’s not that the person had become
in a cyborg is that we are improving
technologically to humans
and finally tell you that we are
within a paradigm shift a
paradigm shift where we have a
great social responsibility and that
social responsibility is that all
these disruptive technological changes
to be able to carry them out and get a
public good so that we can
manage everything we are talking about and
achieve technologically human
improved but with the philosophy that
That longevity has years of life
adjusted to the quality finished with my motto
of the imagination is the principle of the
creativity to try that all
those who listen to me achieve between
all that research is encouraged and
the multidisciplinary works so that
somehow you can achieve create and
practice those and those
imaginations that the
humanity and that in the future they are
Realities
