Then 50,000 years ago, something happened--a creative, technological, and social explosion, and humans came to dominate the planet. This was a pivot point in our development, the time when the human mind truly emerged. What made this moment so different? We examine forces that may have contributed to the breakthrough, enabling us to prevail over our relatives, the Neanderthals, who co-existed with us for tens of thousands of years. And we explore where this power of mind may lead us, as the culture we create overtakes our own biological development. |
