> A new science of cooperation is arising out of recent research in biology
> and economics. Biology once focused on competitive concepts like
> "Survival of the Fittest" and "Selfish Genes". More recent work has
> uncovered powerful forces that drive the evolution of increasing levels
> of cooperation. In the history of life, molecular hypercycles joined into
> prokaryotic cells which merged into eukaryotic cells which came together
> into multi-cellular organisms which formed hives, tribes, and countries.
> Many believe that a kind of "global brain" is currently emerging.
