Thekak said the word - culture. After 3 anthropology classes, this stuff has been beaten into my head. And what tiberry said - "whole that is greater than the sum of its parts".
What makes humans so amazing is that each person only needs to know a fraction of the combined cultural knowledge. And with language we have the ability to communicate the new knowledge we acquire - pass it on so that it becomes cultural knowledge and not individual knowldge, which wont be much good once you die.
