U know that idea that people have anxiety bc our ancestors had to be afraid of wolves etc to survive well sometimes i think im sad for no reason bc my ancestors would have had like four dead children by now so im feeling the sadness that they would have had to experience
#it doesn’t really make sense bc sadness seems like a maladaptive response in general#except that maybe it makes us seek comfort and support from other people when we maybe can’t take care of ourselves#but also I don’t think complex human things always have an evolutionary explanation like not every trait that survives increases fitness
