Abstract
This chapter attempts to understand how our opposable thumbs and creative minds have enabled us humans to do extraordinary things. We do not live our lives in isolation, performing cognitive activities in our individual minds; rather, we seem to reliant on co-existence with other humans. In this chapter we explore the relationship between the need for co-existence in human society on one hand, and the development of sense of self and self-worth on the other, through role development within societies.
