Citation:
Hancock, P.A. (2007). What future for human-machine symbiosis? Ergonomia, 29(1), 17-18.

Abstract:
Humans are species like no other. They are self-symbiotic. By this I mean that primary control upon their own evolution is the technology that humans use to create the environments which they inhabit.
