520 | _aTurnbull challenges conventional wisdom about how human civilization developed. Most species survive for half a million years, while humanity is already about one million years old. We survive because we cooperate, he says. However, ants have been around for at least 100 times as long. Should we act more like them, or have we gone too far already?. | ||
