  • A classic example is our “sweet tooth”, which motivated ancestral humans to search for calorie-rich foods in nutritionally scarce environments.
  • For instance, humans evolved to live in kin-based, nomadic tribes of approximately 50 to 150 close-knit people.
  • For instance, competition and status anxiety have been linked to obsessions with educational attainment, vying for prestigious jobs and materialism.
  • These trends are especially prevalent in countries with a strong shame culture, such as Japan and South Korea.
