Harari vs. Henrich - By Joseph Heath

Joseph Heath argues that Yuval Harari’s account of human evolution in Sapiens rests on an outdated, intelligence-first story: humans got smarter, developed language, learned to cooperate, and then built culture. Against this, Heath presents Joseph Henrich’s much stranger and more compelling inversion: culture came first, reshaping cooperation, language, and eventually intelligence itself. The result is a sharp, accessible guide to one of the most interesting live debates in the human sciences.https://open.substack.com/pub/josephheath/p/harari-vs-henrich?r=67y1h&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web Get full access to Askwho Casts AI at askwhocastsai.substack.com/subscribe
