But a huge wave of research is now revealing an alternative version of what we thought we knew.

They are also revealing the remarkable intelligence underlying these activities, abilities we once considered uniquely our own.

If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig deeper—rethinking the very foundation of our social system.
