Irhoud, Moroco; they date 300 thousand years. In only the last iota of its

existence as distinct species – starting 3.5 thousand years ago, with the

Mesopotamian civilization – humans changed their physical and social

environments. The most drastic transformations correspond to the dawning of the

industrial revolution, 250 years ago, culminating to the ubiquitous use of the Internet,

social media and smartphones over the past 20 years. The outcome is that certain

of the then adaptive traits have become recently rapidly maladaptive. In the

previous part, we just touched upon the hypothesis that wining an argument

might have been more important than using logical explanations based on hard

facts. Here, I would like to expand on how the maladaptation of our senses in

the world we are altering, is affecting us.
