Michel Serres explained us his orientation towards exo-darwinism, that is another way to say neo-evolutionism. It means that human artefacts are external somatic part, for example, a baby's bottle is a mobile breast, a cloth is a removable skin. The brilliant part of it was the historical references he chose to use like "la guerre des gaules" or stories from the middle-age and renaissance to explain why the book is an external memory device. We can find those ideas also among ecological ontologists like Barry Smith http://ontology.buffalo.edu/smith/articles/Ecological_Approach.pdf I was at this uber-cool conference at Polytechnique school.
