Pin factory, 40,000 BC

Adam Smith, the renowned economist, famously observed the impact of specialization on productivity in a pin factory where different individuals specialized in each subtask involved in manufacturing even a simple object. This concept of specialization and division of labor leading to enhanced productivity can be seen in various aspects of human history and evolution.

A recent account by Razib Khan delves into the differences between Neanderthals and early modern humans in Europe. While Neanderthals were skilled artisans who crafted effective tools reflecting individual creativity, early modern humans displayed a remarkable uniformity and efficiency in their standardized tools, akin to Paleolithic factory workers. This distinction hints at a key factor contributing to the success of early modern humans – their greater sociability.

Contrary to the assumption that intelligence played a decisive role, evidence suggests that the sociability of early modern humans enabled them to work together in larger cooperative groups, leading to greater cultural adaptability and innovation. Neanderthals, despite having larger brains, may have been comparatively antisocial, resulting in limited socio-cultural development compared to the more socially adept early modern humans.

The organization of societies among early modern humans was characterized by widespread social networks, minimal inbreeding, and a collective approach to tool production. In contrast, Neanderthal social groups were smaller and more isolated, indicating a less social nature. The ability of early modern humans to assimilate diverse talents and genetic contributions, including a significant Neanderthal genetic share, may have played a role in their success.

Drawing parallels to the modern world, the comparison between individual intelligence and the collective intelligence embedded in societal institutions is intriguing. The modern world, with its information technology and synergistic innovation, functions as a collective brain driving productivity gains. This transition to a collective brain may have been a key factor in the evolutionary success of early modern humans, fostering mass production and tribe-centric victories over individual social status.

In conclusion, the evolution of human societies and the transition to collective intelligence have been instrumental in shaping our species’ success and survival. The insights from the differences between Neanderthals and early modern humans offer valuable lessons on the importance of sociability, cooperation, and collective innovation in driving progress and prosperity.
