Is human domination of the planet a result of communication and cooperation, or is it an evolutionary trait of intelligence and tool-making?
Yuval Noah Harari emphasizes the ability to communicate and cooperate as the reason for human domination of the planet, but it can be argued that intelligence, tool-making, and walking upright also played a role.

If AI surpasses human intelligence and consciousness, will we retain our uniqueness?
