Life is like a river, it flows and curves and eventually dries up. A fish with wings and the ability to fly is really a bird. A mouse is neither a fish, nor a bird. It's all about a point in time and not about facts.
I would say that technological evolution is a type of cultural evolution (along the lines of memetics), which in turn is an extension of biological evolution. They all interact to shape the evolutionary pressures in each in a larger dynamic system. It's no longer possible to separate human biological evolution from culture and technology.
I like to think technology is the process of an invention or creation whether it be biological or mechanical...our society is made up of both since the first civilisation. Man was created from elements of nature and from us we created/invented tools to develop ourselves Life is made from the technology of nature, yes and machinery is made from the technology of man The function is the same but their purpose is most definately not always the same so better to keep technology separate from nature
its going to get to the point where we HAVE TO ask that question: how do you differentiate technology from biology? And then the, "that's easy silly!" answer: Because you can resurrect, redefine, and revamp long extinct technology, and not biology (outside of jurassic park). Cool thought.

The first man to apply Darwins principles to technology and one of the finest pieces of futurism ever written. I am disappointed he didnt bring it up.
