Cultural Additivity Mechanism

In this paper, I argue that cultural additivity mechanism could be the means of human survival and development. My point is based on two core works. The first is “Cultural additivity: behavioural insights from the interaction of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in folktales”. In this study, the concept of cultural additivity (CA) was first introduced by Vietnamese scientists. CA in Vietnamese means “cultural additive”, a mechanism whereby people of a given culture are willing to incorporate into their culture the values and norms from other systems of beliefs that might or might not logically contradict with principles of their existing system of beliefs. Importantly, Dr. Quan-Hoang Vuong showed that CA is seen and/or reflected through Vietnamese architecture that demonstrates the harmonious forms of the three major religions (Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism), which makes Vietnam’s traditional culture. The second one is “A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome”. In this research, Professor Paaboo found that modern-day wise humans belong to the genus Homo sapiens, along with seven ancient human races that existed millions of years ago. Over time, many species became extinct, and discovered the gene transfer of these extinct species to Homo sapiens. This suggests that the ancient human races had a certain harmony in the early civilization for survival and population growth even though there may be certain contradictions. In this process, only the modern human race has evolved continuously to these days because of its ability to get along and cooperate better, to have more beneficial customs, and to have more improvements in life and production. With these discoveries, I have more convincing proof to prove my argument
