The continuance of evolution, by technological or biotechnological means, outwith and beyond the constraints of ordinary human (or non-human) biological evolutionary processes. Extravolution is a sudden exponential branching off from biological evolution which establishes a new paradigm. This process is currently underway in human society and will accelerate exponentially as our technological development allows us to merge with human-created technologies to become superhuman in our capabilities. It could be argued that extravolution, although dramatic in its effect, is a natural and logical part of the evolutionary process.

Get the extravolution mug.Pulling something (a number, estimate, fact, stat, idea) out of your ass. Used when sufficient data either doesn't exist, or you're too lazy to do the research.
Hey, Bill. I don't have time to pull together an actual project estimate for you, so let me apply a little anal extrapolation to get you some numbers.
