Abstract(s)
Cada gene só se pode exprimir em função do modo
como cada fase ambiental da evolução humana modela
a força potencial da natureza. A expressão genómica
com todas as suas influências é, de facto, condicionada
pelas sucessivas interacções entre o que é potencial e o
que são os sucessivos ambientes que constituem o envelope
do biológico, desde o núcleo ao citoplasma,
desde a célula ao tecido, desde o órgão ao corpo total,
desde o corpo à relação com o outro mais significativo
nos primeiros tempos de vida e que é a mãe, até às
outras todas relações sociais com os outros mais ou
menos preferenciais que a família e a sociedade vão
proporcionando, nas sucessivas etapas do ciclo da vida.
O mito determinista que tanto nos legou em termos
de significado nas primeiras relações, cruza-se com as
outras realidades influenciais através das quais sabemos
que nunca nada está perdido em função da extraordinária
capacidade de adaptação humana em todos
as fases potenciais da vida.
O modelo etológico ter-nos-á influenciado a pensar
em termos de sobrevivência quando caracteriza a evolução
em termos de competência de espécies na mira
de garantir aquela mesma sobrevivência. Porém, a caracterização da espécie humana vai no
sentido de uma evolução complexa destinada a garantir
competências susceptíveis de condicionar capacidades
decisivas como são as de constituir família e de cooperar em grupos sociais com objectivos comuns,
cada vez mais complexos.
Ser Criança significa o destino de vida feita relação
e afecto.
Each gene can only express itself according to the way in which each environmental phase of human evolution configures the potential force of nature. Genomic expression and its influences is conditioned by the successive interactions between what is potential and the successive environments that constitute the biological envelope, from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, from the cell to the tissue, from the organ to the total body, from the body to the relationship with the meaningful other during the first years of life, which is the mother, and all the other social relationships with members of the family and society, in the several stages of the life cycle. The determinist myth that left us so much in terms of the meaning of the first relationships intersects with the other influential realities which show that nothing is ever lost, due to the extraordinary human capacity for adaptation in all the potential phases of life. The ethological model has influenced us to think in terms of survival by characterising evolution as species’ competences to guarantee survival. However, the characterisation of the human species is based on the idea of a complex evolution, aimed at guaranteeing the competences and skills needed to create families and cooperate in social groups with common goals, which are more and more complex.
