Solidarity is the foundation of biosociality. The article highlights its anthropological roots in a unified humanity, but shows only a few examples of mutual activities, especially in connection with music, and presents the foundations of solidarity as a key result of the establishment of kinship systems. The basic thesis of the article is that solidarity is an anthropological constant, which is especially evident from a modern biocultural evolutionary perspective, as solidarity was a key evolutionary advantage of humanity and its predecessors. Empirically speaking, it cannot be directly observed, but it connects all (other) aspects of human existence in its countless nuances, from sociability, work, activities and creativity to a more permanent network of kinship ties. And there is no anthropology and ethnographic research without solidarity.
