Humans engage in far more cooperation with large numbers of nonkin than any other species on Earth. We sometimes cooperate with others that we don’t even know or have never met. Cumulative culture talks about how even the smartest individual is not smarter than a group cooperating together over time to solve problems. The area of cooperation, culture, and cognition—when did humans begin to think as modern humans—is a growing area of study about who we are as a species.</p> </div> </div> <div class="flex-column pathway-items"> <div class="pathway-item"> <div class="item-image"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/human-uniqueness/" style="background-image: url('https://becominghuman.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/diverse-family-shutterstock_292953581-banner.jpg')"></a> </div> <div class="item-title"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/human-uniqueness/">Human Uniqueness</a> </div> </div> <div class="pathway-item"> <div class="item-image"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/cooperation/" style="background-image: url('https://becominghuman.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/spain-cooperation-shutterstock_1498408235-banner.jpg')"></a> </div> <div class="item-title"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/cooperation/">Cooperation</a> </div> </div> <div class="pathway-item"> <div class="item-image"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/cumulative-culture/" style="background-image: url('https://becominghuman.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/harris-boyd-hunter_scouting2_7x3-banner.jpg')"></a> </div> <div class="item-title"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/cumulative-culture/">Cumulative Culture</a> </div> </div> <div class="pathway-item"> <div class="item-image"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/cognition/" style="background-image: url('https://becominghuman.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/cognition-shutterstock_2149778965-cropped.jpg')"></a> </div> <div class="item-title"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/cognition/">Cognition</a> </div> </div> <div class="pathway-item"> <div class="item-image"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/human-life-history-and-social-structure/" style="background-image: url('https://becominghuman.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/family-across-ages-shutterstock_1284992623-banner.jpg')"></a> </div> <div class="item-title"> <a href="https://becominghuman.org/pathways-to-discovery/unique-human-species/human-life-history-and-social-structure/">Human Life History and Social Structure</a> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery("#section-human-uniqueness .flex-column.intro.right .button-wrap").on( "click", function() { jQuery(this).toggleClass("active"); jQuery("#section-human-uniqueness-show-hide").toggleClass('active'); } ); </script> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div id="past-future" class="anchor"></div> <section id="section-past-future" class="section-pathway "> <div class="container"> <div class="container-inner"> <div class="flex-column intro left"> <div class="entry-title"> <h2>Our Genetic Past and Future</h2> </div> <div class="content"> <p>As the genetic library of human and primate genomes build, scientists can now build genetic migratory patterns, based on how genes have flowed throughout the ancient world.
