A Surviving Species

It's curious as among several species of the genus Homo, of the primate family, Sapiens was the only survivor.

We are a unique species, with primate cousins ​​far apart in terms of social functioning and interaction.

Several theories work to explain why the sapiens were the only survivor, it is known that the species of the genus Homo coexisted in different regions, the Sapiens not being the result of the direct evolution of another Homo, for example the Neanderthal species, the two species coexisted, and possibly even met.

However only Sapiens moved on and conquered the planet. This is possible due to the context known as Cognitive Revolution.

The biological changes related to human interaction with other humans, and with the environment, was part of the adaptation of the human body to survival.

Evolution has prioritized the evolution of the brain in the human species, providing more energy from food, developing neuronal circuits, more and more brain function has become more elaborate.

And yet what is the most important factor?

There are several factors, and probably one of the most important is human language. The laws of social language, symbolic. The ability to make social bonds.

The human mammal early on is very dependent on another human being for care, protection, feeding.

Milk is a very important food, and to this day it is prioritized by the richness of nutrients and even biological protection with antibodies passed through milk from mother to child.

Besides feeding, caring, attention, interaction, are important to teach this newborn the reality about themselves and social.

In primitive peoples, who lived the basis of hunting and gathering, it was necessary to have someone to bring food, to help protect from other predators, the human being by nature, and many existing species, was not made to survive alone, by nature it is a be social.

So tribes were formed. Forms of existence were constituted, ways of surviving, of protection, of teaching, what are called culture, or even to the letter of the family and social myth.

Those who have developed better skills in social bonding have built better ways of surviving.

And it is understood that the species Sapiens, which means wise, was the species of the genus Homo, which more adapted to the creation of social bonds, social skills, functioning in their tribes together of individuals with diverse functions, unfolding the terrestrial surface .

Networking is not today, networking is the basis of human functioning, what has changed to the current time is the network in virtual space, and that has as a consequence the little understanding of the actual networks of civilizational support, in general terms, not only by the population, but also by the rulers themselves.

We carry a lot of the primitive species, much more of the many believe, our biological basis is the same, instincts can be builders or devastating, we can be as wild as our predecessors were thousands of years ago, or we can learn to be civilized.

We have this knowledge and opportunity these days, which unfortunately governments and economic functioning can not achieve on a large scale for a number of factors.

History shows us that survival depends on multiple factors, the main being the human social ability, the ability to make and sustain social bonds.
