This is not a great look. I& #39;m sure there is more to the book, but this report springs to eternal trap of simplistic single ideas that & #39;make us human& #39; where evidence is slight.
I would suggest reading Transcendence by @WanderingGaia, Kindred by @LeMoustier, or the Book of Humans by me, which avoid these traps.
Instead, they reflect the complexity of social interactions, demographic transition and many other factors that resulted in what we regard as full package of behavioural modernity.
