I can’t see how we could “evolve” into cyborgs/robots in a purely biological sense. In other words, genes and biochemistry can’t make metal and synthetic structures for our bodies. This will be a purely man-made and man-directed event. Sure, once we’re on the way to becoming robots natural selection might make such moves advantageous, but inserting metal/synthetic parts into a body will still be at the discretion of human beings. Thus, I can’t see how laws that describe natural phenomena, like Dollo’s Law or others, can be applied.
