The Evolution of Human Behaviour.

Abstract

Humans share 95–99% of DNA sequences with chimpanzees, our closest living relative. Yet there are obviously huge differences in behaviour, including our capacity for remarkable technological advances, our development of social institutions and our use of language and social norms. The result is our unparalleled construction of tools (for example for hunting, farming, communication, transportation and medical treatments), unique social groupings (tribes and nation states with their own laws and customs), and social institutions (schools, hospitals, governments and markets). So how did humans develop such a unique and complex culture?
