The concept of «converging technologies» is being used since the investigations in USA and Europe associated this concept (converging technologies) to the idea of «human enhancement»; in other words, the improvement of human capacities, corporal and also intellectual modification. This article presents a social and philosophical naturalistic approach on the subject which has been considered, among the academic society, to have the same influence as Darwin’s theories in the 19th century; particularly on the debate about converging technologies and the concept of transhumanism or tecnofuturism which could lead to the transformation of the human species.
