问题 Extract 2
    The search for the biological foundation of human culture inevitably leads to non-verbal communication. Intuition suggests that such communication has been an essential element of the evolution of humans as social beings. Without it, the diversity and sophistication of today’s social systems would be unimaginable. However, there is the opposite hypothesis that the evolution of non-verbal communication may in part be the result of our being thoroughly social entities: the social nature of humans may have amplified the evolution of a capacity we share with other primates but developed to a degree unequalled by any other species.
    As far as language is concerned, these issues have been subject to fascinating research in linguistics, biological anthropology and other fields. However, the fundamental question of what led to humans becoming social beings and thus, ultimately, the basis of human culture, remains contested between the disciplinary territorial claims of biology and the social sciences. Quite obviously, the presumed interdependence of the evolution of its significance for human culture calls for an interdisciplinary effort to explore the processes involved. One promising approach is the study of similarities and differences of non-verbal communication among humans and non-humans(above all, primates). [br] What does "a capacity"(para. 1)refer to?
