Question

Which of the following statements differentiates humans from other cooperative mammal species?
A) Humans cooperate only with their relatives.
B) Humans cooperate with large numbers of unrelated individuals.
C) Humans rarely cooperate.
D) Humans cooperate only under the supervision of government institutions.

Accepted Answer

This allows for the formation of complex societies and cultures. The other statements are not accurate - humans frequently cooperate and do not require government institutions for all cooperative behavior.
