A true story about the evolution and future of beauty, fashion, and love from stone age to digital age and toward our techno-divine future.

by Dr. Lovasz Colin

Early humans valued physical strength and muscularity as signs of beauty, essential for survival, and bonds formed for survival and reproduction, with early signs of pair bonding.

In ancient Civilizations, beauty ideals varied, where Egyptians valued symmetry and youth, Greeks admired athletic physiques. Since then also romantic love began to be celebrated in literature and art.
The evolution of diverse physical traits happened due to migration and interbreeding.

During the Middle Paleolithic period, early humans utilized draped animal hides, occasionally bound using sinew, as rudimentary garments. Many revolutionary inventions have appeared such as needles and thread, hafted stone and bone tools, the harpoons, the spear thrower, and special fishing equipment. Bone ivory and antler in addition to flints were extensively used. 

Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic Periods: 

Advancements during the Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods included the punching of animal hides with awls and the sewing of these hides with sinew and bone needles. This period also marks the initial emergence of woven plant fiber textiles.

Neolithic Period: In the Neolithic era, the use of similar sewing techniques persisted, and there was the first appearance of textiles woven from plant fibers.

Some Neolithic garment fragments have been preserved to this day, providing us with insights into the clothing designs of that era. Tops were typically squarish and bag-like, featuring openings for the head and arms. The concept of trousers had not yet been developed. Early humans either donned skirt-like garments such as long tunics and dresses or paired a tunic with leggings and a loincloth.
The loincloth was commonly secured by tucking it into a belt at the waist, wrapping it beneath the groin, and then tucking it back into the waist. Leggings consisted of hides wrapped around the legs and held in place with stitches.

Research indicates that Neanderthals may have been among the earliest shoe wearers, while the analysis of toe bones from preceding species suggests that they, too, might have used some form of footwear.

With the advent of the Upper Paleolithic period, Cro-Magnon humans replaced Neanderthals. Physiologically similar to modern humans, Cro-Magnons lacked sophisticated technology and scientific understanding but were innovative in their clothing techniques. They predominantly wore tanned animal hides, which were punched with stone or bone awls and stitched together with bone needles.
There is evidence suggesting they also wove clothing from grasses, especially in warmer climates. Additionally, they adorned themselves with jewelry made from shells, animal teeth, flowers, feathers, and bones. They also painted their bodies using mineral and plant-derived dyes.

Cro-Magnons were notable cave painters and lived in various shelters including huts. They are credited with the majority of cave-man art observed today. Their skills extended to carving ivory, bone, and wood, and they crafted sun-fired pottery.

Mesolithic Period (13,000 BC – 8,000 BC): During the Mesolithic period, societies continued to produce sewn clothing from tanned animal hides with increasing dexterity and sophistication.

Neolithic Period (6,000 BC – 3,000 BC): The Neolithic era witnessed humans domesticating animals and cultivating fiber crops, leading to the emergence of weaving and other textile production methods. This period also saw the initial development of copper use and advanced stone and horn tool refinement techniques using polishing and grinding.

The earliest textiles in Europe were likely produced from vegetative fibers. As vegetable fibers cannot be felted, it is reasonable to infer that weaving and spinning techniques were developed concurrently with the use of fibers such as linen and grass. Once spun into thread, twine, or yarn, these fibers could be woven either manually or with the aid of a loom.

In the Neolithic era, coarse plant fibers such as grass and bark were woven into protective clothing and used for insulation. Grass capes functioned as primitive raincoats, providing shelter from snow and rain. This period also saw the introduction of plant fiber ropes and twine.

Evolution of Beauty and Fashion: A Forward-Looking Perspective

The evolution of fashion and beauty continues to progress and even accelerates as we look towards the future. In contemporary times, fashion can be perceived as somewhat lacking in distinctiveness and extravagance. However, subcultures such as goth and cyberpunk offer contrasting examples of stylistic evolution. Gothic fashion, as a significant subculture, represents a unique and expressive human cultural development.

Anyway, the incredible futuristic Cybergoth fashion and style, which I hold in high regard, embody a vision of super-evolved aestheticism that many fail to comprehend. The Cybergoth and cyberpunk styles are poised to dominate the near future, symbolizing the pinnacle of future fashion by integrating advanced technology into human aesthetics.

We should observe that since oldest times human societies have continuously advanced in the development of apparel, accessories, and tools, reflecting an ongoing evolution in aesthetics and fashion. This trajectory has significantly accelerated, culminating in the contemporary era with the introduction of diverse body modifications, therapies, and enhancements designed to augment beauty, fulfill fantasies, and amplify sexual appeal.

Examples of such bodily adornments include piercings, tattoos, contact lenses, and hair dyes. Additionally, advancements in medical procedures have enabled significant alterations and reconstructions of physical characteristics.
Among the most prevalent cosmetic treatments today are lipoplasty (liposuction), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), mammoplasty (breast implants), rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), rhytidectomy (facelifts), and botulinum toxin (Botox) injections. These interventions aim to modify and enhance facial and body features, striving towards idealized aesthetic standards.

Moreover, the field of dental technology has made substantial progress in improving oral aesthetics and functionality.
Concurrently, cutting-edge biotechnology enables the augmentation of muscle mass through anabolic steroids, peptides, sarms, and prohormones, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach to body enhancement that combines cosmetology with advanced medical science.

The Darkness Evolved: Cybergoth

Cybergoth fashion, characterized by its merger of cyberpunk elements with evolved darkness and extreme futuristic technology, represents a futuristic subculture distinct from traditional Gothic.
This style, which technologizes the personal appearance, is a harbinger of transhuman and posthuman futures where beauty and fantastic effects are enhanced exponentially through increasingly complex and sophisticated accessories.

I propose that this futuristic beauty can be quantified based on levels of improvisation and complexity. By incorporating more advanced and better-designed futuristic accessories and augmenting one's biological aspects, an individual's beauty and the associated extravagance effect can be significantly amplified.

Key Features of Cybergoth Style

Cybergoth fashion distinguishes itself through the use of biohazardous, synthetic, and tech-based accessories, often combined with neon colors and reflective materials. These outfits frequently incorporate plastic, electronic components, cybertech designs, and robotic elements. Key items include large electronic platform boots, synthetic and robotic armor, and garments made from materials like PVC.

Hair extensions or falls are integral to the Cybergoth look, often featuring bright colors and plastic elements. These are combined with futuristic synthetic piercings, mechanical parts, and cyber accessories. Futuristic goggles are a staple accessory, enhancing the overall theme. Additionally, some Cybergoths wear high-tech masks integrated with tubes and wires.

A central aspect of Cybergoth identity is the cyber makeup, which covers the entire face and neck, often depicting electric circuits, transistors, and robotic components. This makeup complements the starkly contrasting bright or neon-reactive colors, such as red, blue, neon green, chrome, or pink, and contributes to a synthetic, futuristic appearance.

Other distinctive features include:

Cybernetic Patterns and LED Circuit Boards: Live LED circuit boards and body cybermodifications are typical, further emphasizing the integration of technology into personal aesthetics.

Futuristic High-Tech Accessories: These include plastic masks and techno goggles, designed to create an artificial, futuristic effect.

Extravagant Synthetic Hair Pieces and Styles: Synthetic dreadlocks (known as "Cyberlox"), plastic tubings, and hair extensions incorporating multiple chips and electronic circuits.
Hairpieces are often made from synthetic kanekalon hair, plastic tubing, rubber, foam strips, and other materials, accentuated with futuristic circuits and wires.

Perfume: The use of distinctive "shock" perfumes is also characteristic of Cybergoth fashion.

Enhanced Vision of Cybernetic and Technological Fashion

We should assume that the evolution of intelligence will indirectly foster this exponential growth in beauty and fashion. With enhanced intelligence, humanity will be capable of creating new materials and accessories that further amplify our beauty, fashion, and biological and technological aspects. As our intelligence expands, so too will our ability to enhance our neocortex through advanced nanotechnology, further amplifying our consciousness and all mental capabilities, infinitely enriching all our biological aspects.

Humans are poised to develop emotions, sexual satisfaction, and characteristics of infinitely higher complexity by merging with technology and basing our neocortex on quantum computation. This will enable us to express our sentiments, knowledge, and fantasies with unparalleled proficiency. In essence, we are amplifying and infinitely extending all our biological aspects, evolving into godlike, quantum-based intelligent cyborgs.

Future Prospects for Cybergoth Fashion

Realistic Cybernetic and Robotic Physiological Elements:

Implants, Circuits, and Chips: Incorporation of both external and internal cybernetic implants, circuits, and chips to create a seamless, high-tech appearance.

Accelerated Evolution of Cybergoth Style:

Singularitarians: Adoption of this innovative style by singularitarians—individuals aspiring to transcend current human limitations and achieve a post-human state.

Cultural Significance: Reflecting an evolution that surpasses mere fashion, symbolizing the convergence of human and machine.

Post-Human Aesthetic and Behavioral Impact:

Enhanced Movements and Speech: The style influences not just appearance but also the wearer's movements, speech, and overall behavior, fostering a truly post-human impression.

Behavioral Augmentation: Wearers exhibit altered mannerisms and interaction patterns, underlining the integration of advanced technology.

In summary, Cybergoth fashion represents an amalgamation of cyberpunk and evolved darkness, infused with futuristic technology and aesthetics. This style, with its elaborate and technologically augmented appearance, is quite possibly a precursor to the aesthetics of our transhuman and posthuman futures.

We should logically deduce that as the exponential growth of technology continues faster than ever, all our biological aspects should dramatically improve and evolve with it so we should assume that future generations will be totally different compared to current humans, as are the current humans compared to Stone Age Man.
