== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''The Cognitive Revolution''' β The "Hypothetical Period" when "Mutations" in the "Human Brain" allowed for "Language" and "Abstract Thinking." * '''Symbolic Thought''' β The "Ability" to "Represent" an "Idea" or "Object" with a "Symbol" (e.g., 'A Drawing,' 'A Word,' 'A Ritual'). * '''Shared Fictions''' (Harari) β "Stories" that "Many People Believe In" (e.g., 'Money,' 'Gods,' 'Corporations,' 'Human Rights'). * '''Dunbarβs Number''' β The "Limit" (~150) of people a human can "Know Personally" and "Trust" through "Gossip" alone. * '''Social Glue''' β The "Purpose" of "Fictions": allowing "Millions of Strangers" to "Work Together" because they believe in the "Same Story." * '''Cave Art''' β The "First Evidence" of the revolution: "Drawings" of "Animals" and "Abstract Signs" in "Deep Caves." * '''Figurines''' (e.g. 'Lion-Man') β Sculptures that show "Imaginary Beings," proving that humans could "Think about things that don't exist." * '''The Agricultural Transition''' (Neolithic Revolution) β (See Article 528). The "Result" of the cognitive revolution: humans "Stopped Wandering" and "Started Farming" ~10,000 years ago. * '''Animism''' β The "Original Human Religion": the belief that "Everything" (Rocks, Trees, Animals) has a "Spirit." * '''Gossip''' β The "Theory" that "Language" evolved to "Share Information" about "Who is Trustworthy" in the group. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
