It is not an accident that some people feel they were born to be dentists, and others feel they were born to be professors. Nor is it an accident that some people want to have large families, while others wish to remain single for their entire lives. Our society has a lamentably oversimplified concept of natural selection. We think that our greatest drives are to survive and procreate. Yet, Darwin showed in 1859 that evolution works just as much on the group as on the individual level. We evolved not just for the survival of ourselves, but also for the survival of our species. This is why people have such a wide range of personalities and dream jobs; this variety allows the human species to flourish. Nietzsche once wrote that we should “become who we are.” Yet, what happens if we find ourselves displaced somewhere in which our dream job is no longer in existence? The wandering Hebrews may have an answer.
