We Stand on Each Other’s Shoulders
Cultural evolution depends on the non-genetic storage, transmission, diffusion and utilization of information.
John Scales Avery
The development of human speech, the invention of writing, the development of paper and printing, and finally, in modern times, mass media, computers and the Internet: all these have been crucial steps in society’s explosive accumulation of information and knowledge. Human cultural evolution proceeds at a constantly-accelerating speed.
Our modern civilization has been built up by means of a worldwide exchange of ideas and inventions. It is built on the achievements of many ancient cultures.
China, Japan, India, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, the Islamic world, Christian Europe, and the Jewish intellectual traditions, all have contributed.
Potatoes, corn, squash, vanilla, chocolate, chili peppers, and quinine are gifts from the American Indians.
