Even something as simple as buying a shirt depends on an astonishing web of interaction and organization that spans the world. But unlike that other uniquely human attribute. language. our ability to cooperate with strangers did not evolve gradually through our prehistory. Only 10.000 years ago - a blink of an eye in evolutionary time - humans hunted in bands. were intensely suspicious of strangers. and fought those whom they could not flee. Yet since the dawn of agriculture we have refined the division of labor to the point where. today. we live and work amid strangers and depend upon millions more.
