ABSTRACT: Humans are unique among all herd species in their capability to learn to be better cooperators. That capability amplified by a richly textured language including the extraordinary invention of promising, made it possible for humansto construct extraordinarily complex and sophisticated structures of inquiry and cooperation. Preparation for optimizing this capability into realized abilities is afforded through an education that that moves human instinct for cooperation and learning through to a community of inquiry at many levels. Communities of inquiry listen, learn and benefit from one another.
