Humanity evolved for millennia to develop common biological, cultural, cognitive, and symbolic characteristics, which have made possible the expansion of our species throughout the earth and the cultural and technological development of our age. In this article we explore briefly the ideas of the human nature, which have been symbolic projections of what we have aspired to be, and we focus on the modern «autopoietic» idea or self-transformation idea, which in our time is postulating the need and possibility of a radical transmutation of our species through bio and neuro-technologies, generating what is called «anthropo-technologies». The transhumanism or radical self-transformation movement of the human species will probably lead us to an goal that will alter the history of humanity and, therefore, should be reviewed and assessed from a philosophical and ethical perspective by its profound consequences.
