Culture is driving a major shift in human evolution, new theory proposes. Today, improvements in health, longevity and survival reliably come from group-level cultural systems like scientific medicine 🏥 and hospitals, sanitation infrastructure 🚰 and education systems 📚 rather than individual intelligence 🧠.

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift — driven not by genes, but by culture. In a paper published in the Oxford journal BioScience, Timothy M. Waring, an associate professor…
