The Secret of Our Success: How Culture Is Driving Human Evolution, Domesticating Our Species, and Making Us Smarter

The "Collective Brains" book is a groundbreaking exploration of how human groups have enabled our species' success through social connection and learning over generations.

Drawing on insights from lost explorers, clever primates, mobile hunter-gatherers, neuroscience, ancient bones, and the human genome, Joseph Henrich reveals how our collective brains have propelled our genetic evolution and shaped our biology.

Discover how early cultural innovations like fire, cooking, and projectile weapons drove brain expansion and altered our physiology, anatomy, and psychology.

Later, powerful concepts like the lever, wheel, screw, and writing were generated and recombined by collective brains, while institutions continued to shape our motivations and perceptions.

This book will change how you think about human evolution and the role of culture in shaping our species' success.
