When societies deny personhood as an intrinsic quality of humans, they commonly digress into injustice and dehumanize portions of their populations.

8. CULTURE

Only humans have the capacity to develop complex cultures that advance over time. Michael Tomasello, codirector of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, asked “How Are Humans Unique?” in a piece for the New York Times.

When you look at apes and children in situations requiring them to put their heads together, a subtle but significant difference emerges. We have observed that children, but not chimpanzees, expect and even demand that others who have committed themselves to a joint activity stay involved and not shirk their duties.

Humans structure their collaborative actions with joint goals and shared commitments.38
