The Secret of Our Success - Joseph Heinrich

[Saluki]

 

This book was recently mentioned on the Value After Hours Podcast. I haven't ordered the book yet because I'm traveling, but i did find a few talks that the author gave about the book.  I'm placing one here to remind me to order the book and also because the discussion of the group mind is relevant to the COBF forum. Larger,more interconnected societies develop technology much faster than smaller isolated communities. The constant iteration and refinement of ideas is compounded more quickly with more brains working on it. Sort of like the threads we have here.
