In this film Dr Michael Muthukrishna explains the main ideas in his research paper ‘Innovation in the Collective Brain’. He argues that innovation is not the work of geniuses, but rather the product of our combined social knowledge. In short, if you want to be an innovator, it’s better to be social than smart.
