Resumen:
Homo sapiens, the only extant species of the genus Homo, shares common behavioural patterns with other extant members of our lineage. However, if we focus on the differences over the similarities, maybe we can sharpen better the knowledge in our evolution. All the subsequent species of our genus increased their sociality and cooperation, increasing their technology. Here, we show a set of archaeological published data to frame the increase of cooperation in early Homo. We predict that almost at 1.8 Ma the genus Homo begun the development of its very special ultra-sociality behaviour. However, being equipped with technological skills, our ancestors probably created an unprecedented form of socialization based on technology. Social use of technology, and specifically socialization through technology, raises interesting topics regarding the emergence of new technologies, and corresponding social reorganization of Homo communities in changing behaviours, but also social, cultural and economic strategies to enhance our humanity.
