Answer 1

Larger groups can take on anything as long as it’s not advanced tech.

From utilizing fire and the larger groups it supported we started developing language amongst a ton of other things, but this was arguably the most important evolved characteristic that sets us apart from other organisms.

With language we band even larger groups that can cooperate better. Larger battles happen too, but the victor takes more spoils. From language we get a linguistic system where people start stitching fictions based off their experience to make sense of their reality…

Then bingo bango bongo, ya have even MORE people cooperating together under a cause they perceive bigger than themselves. Sumerian creation myths and society, Egyptian creation myths and society, canaan and others, Greek, Roman, and Abrahamic creation “stories” and societies. Technology advances exponentially but our nature moves as slow as evolution.

It’s funny to think that once we develop a different nature, better from avaricious human nature, that we may not be considered humans any longer
