Who can deny we are animals? We choose our partners, have children, and pray they will grow up to be better than us. We compete for a better mate, and in one way or the other all progress is shaped by our vision of reproductive success. Our struggle to dominate motivates evolution and shapes the fabric of our civilization. Language first, then reading and writing emerge, now if you can't communicate you are less competitive. Each passing day more knowledge is required to compete. Complexity increases, with each generation, repeated generation after generation, with each step being more complex than the previous. Our epoch, place, language and civilization is imposed on us, our desire is imposed on us. Progress is pushed by sexual motivation, one generation causing the formation of the next, both causal and deterministic. Do we have free will, or is free will an illusion? 359
SHORT Humanity is a differential equation motivated by social competition, and sexual selection. Individual behavior arises from the complex interaction between our biology and social environment, creating unique psychological traits like emotions, curiosity, and intelligence.As children, our traits are shaped by social interactions. As we grow into adults, our personality forms and influences how we perceive and interact with the world around us.Civilization emerges from the complexity of individuals interacting through language. The unique civilization and its language, whether ancient or modern, shape individual character, and individuals collectively define the character of society. The style of a civilization is influenced by its geographic location, historical period, and language, which together define the nature of the era. There are still undiscovered equations that could predict both individual and social behavior.
