Early Homo Sapiens developed a structure of hunting and gathering in their communities for survival. Due to the brain size of Homo Sapiens being much larger than any hominid species before, they learned to adapt to their environment much quicker than before as well. As the climate on Earth changed, early humans were forced to adapt to open savanna environments because forested areas were rapidly decreasing. One of these ways to adjust was to add meat to their diet. Meat in the diet of early humans forced them to hunt in large groups where killing an animal would be increasingly easy, creating a sense of cooperation in hominid communities. In addition, food sharing became much more valuable for several reasons. For example, when the hunting group achieves success in hunting down an animal, there is usually enough food for the entire social community. Also, hunting again requires more than one person, and therefore each person that contributed to the hunt deserves a part of the meat obtained. Furthermore, the discovery of fire and the creation of hearths caused hominids to bond more and want to give more to others they possess relations with. Sharing food with each other caused a decrease in starvation and undernourishment. These behaviors and routines grew more complex as Homo Sapiens dispersed and grew in population, leading to our intricate and diverse societies today, where cooperation and social interaction is absolutely vital.

'''Manual:'''Groups of hunter Homo Sapiens started to organize their ways of life around the migration of the animals they hunted. Because of this, the hunter-gathers traveled around different campsites every year. This provided a constant food supply and was a very big difference between the Homo Sapiens and the Homo Neandrathalensis. The Aurignacians, a branch of Homo Sapiens, had to cooperate with the Gravettians, also Homo Sapiens, in order to survive. The Gravettians had made more advanced hunting gear and were more advanced in the arts. They rescued the Aurignacians who were not prepared for the extreme ice age that occurred after 33,000 BP (before present). Because the Gravettians cooperated and advanced hunting, a dramatic growth in the population led to some of the Gravettians began living in semi-permanent villages. By living in small semi-villages, the groups were vulnerable to famine and attacks and had to rely on each other.

'''External Source of information:''' The homo sapiens that lived near the mouth of the Klasies River had to cooperate with each other to hunt big game such as a hippo. The main difference between Homo Sapiens cooperation and other species is that the Homo Sapiens cooperated with strangers , where as other species only cooperate with their kin. Early humans also had to cooperate against hostile neighbors and in sharing ideas.

Early Homo Sapiens developed a structure of hunting and gathering in their communities for survival. Due to the brain size of Homo Sapiens being much larger than any hominid species before, they learned to adapt to their environment much quicker than before as well. As the climate on Earth changed, early humans were forced to adapt to open savanna environments because forested areas were rapidly decreasing. One of these ways to adjust was to add meat to their diet. Meat in the diet of early humans forced them to hunt in large groups where killing an animal would be increasingly easy, creating a sense of cooperation in hominid communities. In addition, food sharing became much more valuable for several reasons. For example, when the hunting group achieves success in hunting down an animal, there is usually enough food for the entire social community. Also, hunting again requires more than one person, and therefore each person that contributed to the hunt deserves a part of the meat obtained. Furthermore, the discovery of fire and the creation of hearths caused hominids to bond more and want to give more to others they possess relations with.
