That doesn't seem to be necessary behavior from an evolutionary standpoint if all that matters is survival but what I'm really trying to say is that all of the qualities that make us human from a psychological point of view can still be based on a physical biological explanation. It's very odd that we don't even understand our own minds and how they function even though that's the essence of what we are. I'll be the first to admit that many human experiences don't seem to fit neatly into simple biological functions and many mysteries remain. That's what makes it so interesting.
