I am not above using brain rot social media as a vehicle to start academic conversations.
Yesterday in my Big History section, students asked me about a social media trend (probably on SnapTok or InstaFace). It revolves around a 'driving' questions "who would win in a fight, 100 humans or 1 gorilla?"
We discussed collective learning, the cognitive revolution, homo sapien conflict via Neanderthals (via Sapiens excerpt), and the follow Nature paper who used back in Unit 5-6.
Who do you think would win?
