Robert Boyd examines the evolutionary trajectory of humanity, arguing that our unique capacity for cumulative cultural learning is the primary driver of our species' success. By synthesizing evidence from anthropology, psychology, and biology, the text illustrates how social norms and shared knowledge systems have allowed humans to adapt to diverse environments far more effectively than other primates.
