What Makes Us Human Isn't What Divides Us
Why do societies separated by oceans and millennia organize themselves in strikingly similar ways? From Manhattan to the Mongolian steppes, humans form friendships, fall in love, cooperate with strangers, and create hierarchies. This isn't coincidence or cultural contamination-it's biology. We carry within our DNA an evolutionary blueprint for building good societies, a set of social instructions refined over millions of years. This "social suite" includes eight universal features: recognizing individuals, loving partners and children, forming friendships, creating structured networks, cooperating beyond kinship, preferring our own groups, establishing mild hierarchies, and teaching one another. These aren't cultural inventions we can discard like outdated fashion. They're biological adaptations as fundamental to our species as our opposable thumbs. While cultures vary dramatically in language, cuisine, and custom, these variations play out against a backdrop of profound social similarity-a unity far deeper than our differences.
