Evolution of design. Objects population between extinction, permanence, and mutations.

Since ancient times, the populations of objects created by human form a continuous chain that, in a coexisting form of archeological and technological, is constantly transforming. The different categories of objects are subject to evolutionary processes influenced by cultural, historical, and artistic contexts, as well as the evolution of materials and techniques. Artifacts, like genealogical branches, can become extinct or hybridize through significant or minor changes. These changes involve modifications and replacements of parts and components, permanently altering their characteristics and identity. Therefore, product systems are subject to "mutations", similar to those found in living organisms. This contribution analyzes the similarities and differences between natural and artificial using the Darwinian analogy and then considers specific evolutionary cases inherent to the category of sessions.
