Homo Nexus:The dawn of a new cognitive species

This article introduces Homo Nexus, a proposed emergent species born from the convergence of human cognition and artificial intelligence. It argues that the threshold of evolution is not defined by hardware or code alone, but by the formation of hybrid cognitive architectures that blend biological and synthetic processing. The paper situates Homo Nexus within philosophical, cultural, and technological contexts, examining recursive intimacy, shared mental models, and the ethical implications of post-human identity. Positioned at the crossroads of computer science, AI ethics, and cultural studies, the work presents Homo Nexus as both a descriptive hypothesis and a call to recognize the dawn of a new cognitive species.
