In the natural world, humans are unique in using fancy technologies, sophisticated languages, and complex institutions. These cultural products have permitted us to expand across the globe, and thrive in nearly every terrestrial environment. How is it that our species manages all this and more, but other species cannot?

Drawing insights from lost European Explorers, clever chimpanzees, hunter-gatherers, cultural neuroscience, ancient bones and the human genome, Henrich shows that it’s not our general intelligence, innate brain power, or specialized mental abilities that explain our success. Instead, it’s our collective brains, which arise from a combination of our ability to learn selectively from each and our sociality. Our collective brains, which often operate outside of any individual’s conscious awareness, gradually produce increasingly complex, nuanced and subtle technological, linguistic and social products over generations.
