This directly results in modern human behavior, by which the authors mean &#8220;a radical jump in technological and cultural complexity,&#8221; including &#8220;symbolic behavior&#8221; (abstract &amp; realistic art, body decoration, etc.; music, and other technical innovations). The study aims to explain why advanced behavior and technology only begin to &#8220;explode&#8221; around 45,000 years ago &#8211; even though humans had been around for 160,000 to 200,000 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ironically, our finding that successful innovation depends less on how smart you are than how connected you are seems as relevant today as it was 90,000 years ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/cloud\/lampertina\">tags<\/a>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/urbanization\">urbanization<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/urban_development\">urban_development<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/urban_energy\">urban_energy<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/cities\">cities<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/population\">population<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/density\">density<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
