SUMMARY:Online Service: Wait But Why’s Story of Us\, 2: A Game of Giants
DESCRIPTION:The next installment of The Story of Us by the blogger and illustrator Tim Urban of Wait But Why! \nA single cell is itself a giant—a magical living giant made up of trillions of non-living atoms—and an animal is a higher-level giant made up of trillions of cells. This concept—a bunch of smaller things joining together to form a giant that can function as more than the sum of its parts—is called emergence. Pretty soon after cells started joining together to form animals\, some of the animals discovered that they could go up another level of emergence and form even bigger giants made up of multiple animals. We can visualize it as a tower. If you look around\, you’ll see them everywhere—schools of fish\, packs of wolves\, colonies of ants\, waddles of penguins. Groups like these represent floors of Emergence Tower above that of the individual animal level. \nSince the dawn of human evolution\, humans have been forming giants called tribes. Combining emergent properties made the human tribe an incredible survival machine that allowed the species to stay afloat and thrive in a relentless natural world. \nFor most early humans\, forming into giants with other humans wasn’t just an advantage\, it was a necessity. \nThis week’s speaker will be Jack. \nAfter the talk\, we’ll have a group discussion to explore the ideas presented\, and to share related thoughts\, resources\, and personal experiences. \nThis is an online event hosted on Zoom. You can register for it here:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81974670183?pwd=QTgEhuCSX4t7unadbgXa0AKxPRF4lL.1
