What makes us human? Creativity and the human niche

Over the last two million years members of the genus Homo (humans) underwent significant changes in brains, bodies and behaviour and created a new niche, a new way of being in the world.

I believe that Fuentes' work, together with Sloman/Fernbach, Laland, Simon Sinek, Plato, Aristotle, Darwin and Yuval Noah Harari hold the key to the future of mankind... and life itself.

what makes us human is selecting all traffic lights.

Ok, but this implies we were the first species to use tools, which we know isn't true. We've seen many other animals using various items as is or altering them to use as tools.

*Can Humans be Tamed?*

We need to develop ourselves as human beings beyond our animate level of existence, and it is possible with a certain kind of education.

Developing ourselves as human beings means learning and balancing ourselves with the integral laws of nature operating on our lives. If we learn how to positively connect among each other in human society, with altruistic attitudes replacing our current egoistic attitudes, we then develop ourselves beyond the animate level of existence and become human beings in the fullest sense of the term.

First, we need to provide for our animate lives, giving our physical bodies the food, sex and family that they require, then after taking care of those essentials, we can begin our human development. We then need to learn who and what we are, where we are from, why we exist, how we can develop ourselves, how we can control our human development, what our attitude to our surrounding society should be, what society’s attitude should be toward us, and how we can develop together harmoniously, i.e. us in relation to society, and society in relation to us.

We need to supply ourselves with this development that will make us human beings. Unfortunately, I see nobody understanding what it means to develop a human being, and we thus fail to realize such a process. One of the outcomes of our lack of development into human beings is our inability to understand the younger generation. We become increasingly detached from them, and do not know what will happen with them or how to guide them in a beneficial direction. We thus let life unfold as it does, into a proliferation of problems and crises.

Very simply, we need to learn what nature wants from us, and to develop in order to balance with nature’s demands toward us. If we meet those demands, we can then build a harmonious and peaceful world, one that is in balance with nature.
