- Experiencing fear and anxiety may not be pleasant, but both are important emotions that drive human evolution. Our brains react to threats, preparing our bodies for what might lay ahead, in a way we learned how to thousands of years ago. But what’s the science behind this inherent reaction and are there consequences?

Fear and anxiety are important emotions that drive human evolution. What was the most interesting thing you learned from this video?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. -- Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. --
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. -- And when it has gone past
I will turn the inner eye to see its path. -- Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Is this from a series?
Science behind anxiety, its really interesting knowing its actually about which part of the brain you use less. Next time I feel afraid I will try to reason it and not let my useful reasoning neurons wither.
When your fight or flight response suddenly activates for no reason at all. Good job evolution
Also good job childhood trauma haha
It's on average more due to your parents than anything else. If they don't give you proper emotional regulation tools then yes...anxiety takes over. The issue is not that evolution is a problem...it's that our prefrontal cortexes have created an incredibly safe world in a very short period of time and our emotional regulation skills (learned not genetically inherited) have not kept pace.
I really hate it.I have extreme anxiety after my brain damage
@@jarrygarry5316 hey bro may I suggest you looking into mct oil or a keto diet (a diet full of greens fats and protein)
Also learn about the bad effects of carbohydrates.
It’ll change things bro please trust me… I’d start with the MCT oil first so you can feel results instantly. You can buy it from supermarkets
children who experience trauma or not enough love and reassurance, have excessive dendrite growth, which causes them to see small threats as larger threats, and hence will, "over react," as part of an over grown amygdala. Hence, coming across more defensive
Augford P. Doggie that’s so crazy how our childhood experience determines how we react when we grow up especially when we grew up in a very unhealthy household
I am thankful to have become an adult, and learned how to overcome childhood trauma⚘
@@karinaaax0x050 im 46 and i still am defensive
@@zovalentine7305 explain to me how because im 46 and more defensive than ever
@@Augfordpdoggie in a word: therapeutics. In any form I could find, which included but was not limited to discussions/sessions w/friends, family, doctors, counselors, ministers, teachers, workshops... even took acting classes, hypnotherapy... I approached anyone anywhere anytime in an ongoing effort to heal⚘

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to the dark side
That's a very male version of that response. fear can create anger but that doesn't necessarily manifest as hate. Females felt fear and anger in evolution but didn't take it upon themselves to physically engage others because they couldn't compete. They used fear for survival, not hate. Women in domestic abuse situations also have huge amounts of fear, anger but in order to survive they normalize their trauma, even going out of their way to forgive abusers. Male society induced entitlement changes which way the brain accepts as a reasonable reaction to fear and anger.

As someone with anxiety I’m glad I came across this video.
i’m literally having an anxiety attack and this gets uploaded woah
That's because they have seen this coming
Try wim Hoff method might help.
Myceila Universe nah you’ll start trippin balls bad idea
@@Skyro. only if you go deep. Why is it a bad idea? Psychedelics have shown to lots of medicinal benefits from long term anti depressant effects to anti anxiety to anti ptsd and so on.
@@myceilauniverse9096 Ive had anxiety attacks since I was 8. Had brain damage so it was more physical than mental. I'm 54 and up until I was 50, I had at least 2 major attacks every year not including the hundreds of "light" attacks. Major was a hospital stay. So why stop at 50? I was a heroin addict for 3 years. Not one anxiety attack. Quit heroin last year and guess what. Yup....
"Blood rushes to the extremities"...(we hope) and when it doesn't you get the result of the internalizing of emotions: hypertension, digestive problems, fibromyalgia...and other chronic conditions. When threatened, a response of fear/anxiety first then anger should follow. Anger should always be there and blood should rush to your extremities to fight or for flight. Regardless if you are in a grocery store or have a burglar in the house. If not, anxiety will rise, and then internalize. Your anger is your power. If you can learn to feel it and "regulate" it ,you will be fine, and live a low anxiety life.
Rationally, the best action is to be critical and reasonable.. Unfortunately, our anxiety usually gets the best of us. 😑

You guys have encouraged me to start my CZcams channel first video out thanks National Geographic

It kind of gives me a flashback of a wave coming towards me, which I would be fearful about, but when I look at it in a certain distance, then I just enjoy my cup of tea.
Science: "there is no fear, only understanding"
Use your MIND to evolve because thoughts always precede emotions. Emotions are indicators or measuring sticks on how those thoughts are going.
Nice video 👍
Nice thanks
Very informative thank you 😊
What was the most interesting fact you learned from this video, Sakoura?
Surely did help me
Ironically, the clip ends in optimism bias.
What I've learned, not from this video but from the total chaos and insanity that is going on right now, is that it doesn't take much to scare a lot of people with a lie.
Wow what important is know about it
Random fact:
The fear of vegetables is called Lachanophobia.
SciFacts the fear of beards is called pogonophobia
Fear of dancing is called Chorophobia ☃

They are wrong. People that have never been in danger or experienced stress will have greater reactions to stressful situations.

Because of fear and anxiety, we are now the strongest species on planet earth.
Panic buying,zero risk bias now I understand why this video is showing during covid19
Hi
Mameli I would watch national geographic but sense it's nothing but people talking and there is no sound and not going to finish it I don't read lips very well
Can you build embankments from Africa to Mauritania to stem fresh water flow from African rivers to Mauritania and from Mauritania a canal is built stretching from Noudhibaou to the Red Sea in Sudan with a canal as wide as 2 Km and a depth of 200 meters and for a saltwater lake in middle of the Middle Sahara Desert
Hii
We primarily used our emotions to survive on the plains of Africa. Is not it time to use our reasoning instead to survive as a species on this planet?
Cool, I can imagine now how humans will evolve after 500 years without malls and toilet papers 😂😂
And now it hinders it

Stupid teenager
Why
I haven't felt fear or anxiety once during covid-19
It's what they want, glad they are opening things up though cause I was supposed to get surgery for wisdom teeth last month.
Covid-19 is stupid
Whilst fear an Anxiety certainly may have been the driving force for our society to develop. I would give more credit to Laziness and ingenuity. the drive to make our lives easier. hence why in early societies we see a division of labor between men and women. Why we see cats and dogs adopted into our households. not only as pets, but as pest hunters too. cats that drive away birds and rats. while dogs drive away larger animals, and sometimes other people.
As with everything, evolution is a bit more complicated. in terms of the issues of panic buying. That is a result of mistrust more so than anxiety. it is what happens when a nation is raised not trusting their government (sometimes with good reasons) and without any confidence in their own situation.
The people who panic buy etc... are more likely to cause societal collapse. less likely to succeed in my view. in the long term anyway.
Fear is useful.
I thought curiosity was responsible for evolution
I am scared of that girls eyes
The comment section of this video is likely to become a hot-bead for people to display their fragile religious beliefs. For that, National Geographic, you shall receive a thumbs-up, and, a new subscriber.

Could optimism bias explain the nonchalance of Covid-deniers? It can't just be stupidity can it? Quick, do a video on stupidity!
Ooops; after so many great films making great efforts to help African villagers see lions as an asset more than a threat to be culled, this video defaults to the old sterotypes of lions as "fear", dozens of times, extremely repetetively. Shame.
