Anthropologist Explains Human Global Dominance

Anthropologist Morgan proposes that humans dominate the world due to their unique cultural openness, which allows for complex planning, adaptability, and innovation. Unlike animal cultures that often stagnate, human culture continuously evolves by building on accumulated knowledge, leading to advancements like modern technology. This openness is linked to the complexity of the human brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex, and raises questions about future cultural evolution in the context of emerging technologies like AI and robotics.
