How would the hybridization between Homo sapiens and machine be considered if this concept could be traced back to the thought of Leroi-Gourhan? The article reviews the concept of hybridization in the posthuman theoretical view, through the accurate scientific demonstration about the ‘technical manners’ of the genre Homo by Leroi-Gourhan. The paleontologist also redefined the idea of the technique milieu: the focus of his research is on the evolution of the human technical ability and the detection of ‘tendencies’ that prove the technical nature of the genre Homo. The physical characteristics of the genre Homo are the key which proves how the human technical capacity is not an acquired one but is the result of the match between the human intellectual ability and its environment.
