[Fis] Cultural Legacy Redux (Freewheeling Speculation)

You wrote :
"First, humanity’s MAIN ADAPTIVE ROLE is “information,” if someone 
questions that fact _I invite you to post your view _and I will happily 
“reply.

My reply is  (in red) :
O K but I am not sure that the profound reason why it is true is clear 
for every one : this constatation "humanity’s MAIN ADAPTIVE ROLE is 
information,”  (or "information is the main way to adapt") is true also 
for _any living being_, because the basic functioning of Life is a 
tranmission of information. That information is necessary for any living 
being to adapt to its environment in a cybernetic system (which was not 
well understood by von Bertalanffy cf. Fritjof Capra p. 48).

  I could explain this with more details, if you want, for each of the 
six main scales (molecules in a cell, genetics with DNA, epigenetics, 
vegetal and animal communities, landscapes, humanity).
