Peter Belter
In The Threshold of Collective Intelligence, Peter Belter takes readers from Paleolithic Europe to Arctic wastelands, from the grandeur of imperial Rome to the cold logic of modern nuclear arsenals, following one question across deep time: what does it take for intelligence to stop dying locally and start becoming history?
His answer is unsettling. Civilization did not begin when humans became smart enough. It began when intelligence became durable enough — carried by enough people, enough connections, and enough redundancy that knowledge no longer vanished with the bodies that held it.
