... is often more interesting than Our Daily perspective.
My very limited understanding is that all of what we often call human nature was "selected" for through the process of natural selection. But that this does not mean that all of human natures pieces and parts were individually selected or that we use them for the purpose they were selected for. My favorite example of the later is that our noses probably did not evolve to hold our glasses.
I occasionally enjoy looking at parts of life through this lens.
1 - Food - what we eat.
2 - Food - why we are fat.
3 - Imagination - what is its purpose?
4 - Morality - Us vs Them.
5 - Our silly routines, ticks, and habits.
6 - Short term vs Long term thinking and action.
7 - Emotions - what are the purposes of curiosity or jealousy.
8 - Our immune system.
9 - Striving.
10 - Cleanliness and personal hygiene.
* Maybe some things like love, relationships, and family are better not to be thought about through this perspective?
