Evolving Culture: Where Do We Go From Here?

This article is about how humans are different from all life forms because of the evolution of cultural knowledge. Knowledge passing from human to human instead a mutated gene passing from generation to generation. The article points out that humans can successfully live in almost any environment whereas most species can only live in a certain climate. The internet is making so much more knowledge available; it does not have to be analog anymore from human to human one way. Now it is digital and thousands of people can access that same information. Now that we have access to so much more cultural knowledge where are we going? We have successfully inhabited almost every environment on earth, been to the moon.
