Humans learn by reading, studying, and practising. But these are recent inventions on the scale of evolutionary history. Long before classrooms existed, our ancestors acquired new skills and knowledge by adapting to their surroundings—turning wilderness into shelter, chaos into order. Their physical environment was the classroom, and dealing with new challenges in it was the curriculum.
