"Les humains sont les seuls animaux capables de coopérer à la fois de manière flexible et en très grand nombre."
— Yuval Noah Harari
Simplified Meaning:
People are unique because they can work together in different ways and with many others at the same time. For example, think about how thousands of people can come together to build a big city. They need to plan it out, work on different jobs, and get the right materials. This kind of cooperation is different from how animals like bees or ants work together; they only follow fixed roles and can’t change tasks easily. Humans can adapt to new situations and solve new problems by teaming up in flexible ways. In your daily life, you might see this when big groups of people organize events like festivals, where everyone has a specific role but can also help out in other areas if needed. By cooperating like this, humans achieve great things that no other animal can.
