This section is reserved for new hypotheses which can be clearly and succinctly stated (along with their foundational theories) here in this virtual realm. Evidence against or supporting these new hypotheses should be included when they become available. If these hypotheses are not your own, credit should be given where due. Although later discovery is fine.

Yuval Noah Harari on his book "Sapiens": At the centre of the book is the contention that what made Homo sapiens the most successful human being, supplanting rivals such as Neanderthals, was our ability to believe in shared fictions. Religions, nations and money, Harari argues, are all human fictions that have enabled collaboration and organisation on a massive scale.
