Our species’ ability to survive in diverse habitats, from the Arctic tundra, where humans hunt seals, to the African deserts, where they build wells, has depended only a little on physiological adaptations such as a higher adiposity and shorter stature to conserve heat among humans living in the far north.

(A) Other scientists put more emphasis on material artifacts such as tools or art, but of course, cultural knowledge is the antecedent of the creation of artifacts.

(B) Rather, our species’ survival across the world hinges on its capacity for culture, a capacity that is ingrained and that has led to astonishing inventions like kayaks and parkas. No other species depends quite so much on creating and preserving cultural traditions.

(C) Ecologist Peter Richerson and anthropologist Robert Boyd define culture as “information capable of affecting individuals’ behavior that they acquire from other members of their species through teaching, imitation, and other forms of social transmission.” A key part of this definition is its interpersonal quality—culture is a property of groups, not individuals.

Humans share with certain social animals several aspects of the social suite beyond the pair-bonding and friendship. We have the capacity to express and recognize individual identity in ourselves and in others too.

(A) Our connection and cooperation with others allows us to learn from them, which sets the stage for us to evolve an interest and willingness to teach them too. Since teaching is costly to teachers and does not necessarily benefit them, it is actually a kind of altruism.

(B) All this affords one final miracle: the capacity for culture, which can be very complex, and cumulative, in humans. We are all beneficiaries of the collective knowledge that our species created over ages and transmitted from person to person across time and place and that now resides among us.

(C) This is reflected in our capacity for grief, which is connected to the deaths of individuals whom we see as unique and special to ourselves. We cooperate with our friends and within our groups. We have evolved a variety of behaviors—including sometimes opting out of social interactions altogether and punishing those who do not cooperate—that facilitate this.

Though many religious rituals and primitive magical practices strike the contemporary imagination as unhelpful superstition, they helped communities to make sense of their predicament in the future.

As Aristotle intuited, uncertainty refers to the lack of clarity and confidence about the course of events that lie ahead. ( ① ) Consequently, attitudes towards uncertainty are governed by the way that society regards the relationship between the present and the future. ( ② ) Although there are important variations in people’s attitudes towards the connection between the present and the future, such individual perceptions are influenced by society’s capacity to provide its members with confidence, knowledge and meaning about the challenges ahead. ( ③ ) Throughout history, societies have looked to different cultural resources – magic, religion, science, ideology – to provide their people with a measure of certainty about the future. ( ④ ) At the very least, rituals and magic offered people rules and guidance that assisted them to get a handle on the uncertainties they faced.  ( ⑤ ) Belief in the impending final judgement helped connect everyday life to a future that, though unknown, certainly possessed meaning.

Once risk acquires a reputation for conveying bad news, it becomes a hazard to be handled with care.

The potential for gaining or losing something of value is central to the modern outlook on risk. Risk itself is a neutral category. ( ① ) Whether, in a specific circumstance, it is considered good or bad depends on the calculation used to determine the outcomes. ( ② ) Since the 1980s, under the influence of the perspective of fear, this neutral and technical version of risk has given way to a tendency to equate it with a loss or a danger. ( ③ ) The weighing up of gain and loss, or of opportunity and threat, which was an integral part of risk assessment, has been displaced by an outlook that associates risk with hazard, and invites the response of fear.  ( ④ ) That is why risk managers often use a language that attempts to ‘minimize risk’ or ‘reduce it’ or ‘avoid’ it altogether. ( ⑤ ) In its most irrational version, some people demand ‘zero risk’–a project that would require abolishing uncertainty completely
