Yesterday, I discussed what brain science and evolutionary biology can teach you about creating an innovative workplace over at HR Bartender. Props to Sharlyn Lauby for the opportunity (and if you missed it, check out her guest post yesterday on the future of work).

Here’s a short excerpt:

Humans are pretty puny, physically speaking. We’re relatively weak for our body size, and we don’t even have enough body hair to survive a chilly night. So how, in about just 200,000 years, did we move from the saber-tooth tiger lunch menu to the top of the food chain?

Humans are natural explorers and innovators. It’s hard-wired into our brains. Our ability to create and innovate helped us survive on the Savannah – and it can help us thrive in the workplace.
