This book shows that the secret of our success lies not in our innate intelligence, but in our collective brains – on the ability of human groups to socially interconnect and learn from one another over generations. Tracking clues from our ancient past to the present, The Secret of Our Success explores how the evolution of both our cultural and social natures produce a collective intelligence that explains both our species‘ immense success and the origins of human uniqueness.
