We survive because we know how to work together

Why are humans the dominant species on Earth? I've heard it's our ability to communicate. It's our thumbs. It's our ability to think in complexity. I'm sure I'm missing a few.

It's not our mere strength. Lions, tigers, bears, and alligators are all stronger than us. Yet we rule the world. 

We rule the world because we knew how to work effectively as a community. Humans would not dominate without the help of the rest of tribe.

How many times have I met people who failed to ask for help when they needed it. They chose to solve their problems on their own, only to fail miserably in the end. When you're drowning, ask for a life preserver. It's not time to learn how to swim!

All success is created by the hard work of an entire team. No one wins the game without the help of others. We need to learn when to ask for help.  

As history suggests, we can solve all of the world's dangers when we work together. When there is a disconnect in the tribe, danger will always trump.

When the main philosophy is "Everyone for themselves", we all lose.

If we continue to not work together, forget aliens from outer space. The tigers will become the next dominant species on Earth.
