Provolution

La provolution (contraction dévolution proactive et traduction de langlais provolve), plus connu sous son appellation anglaise duplift, est une forme encore fictive dévolution, popularisée par le cycle de science-fiction de lÉlévation de David Brin, mais que lon peut faire remonter jusquà L'Île du docteur Moreau.

Contrairement à lévolution naturelle, les organismes se modifient eux-mêmes au fil du temps, ou aux évolutions forcées, comme celle que prône la philosophie transhumaniste, la provolution est une sorte dexéno-évolution”, en ce sens que cest une espèce qui décide daméliorer une autre espèce en lui procurant, par exemple, lintelligence.
