A Darwin Call is that which the evolution based psychology
commands that one does while exercising limited control
over motivations and actions.

Denial in a Bowl of Water

Place three bowls of water on the table.
One with ice cold water, one with very warm water, one at room temperature, at the center.
Place hands at the end bowls for a while.
Then, immediately place both hands in the center bowl.


The water feels very warm to the touch of the colder hand and vice versa.

When in the hot and cold bowls,
your hands first resisted the danger with pain,
then survived it easily with denial,
which they took with them to the center bowl.

It is imperative that we develop such automatic systems
in the brain if we are to adapt to the environment
enough to survive.

Pain is essential for survival, yet destructive if suffered unnecessarily.
Any form of pain must have a denial mechanism to defend it,
if the pain mechanism itself is to survive.

The subconscious human mind is composed of many
such mechanisms all operating independently,
each developed over the long course of evolution
of the brain, and is separately guided by survival,
just like any other organ or mental power in animals.

Love

If I could explain to you the logic of why I love her,
you will fall in love with her as soon as you
understand my explanation.

Emotions are by definition subconscious.
The explanation is there, but you might need to search
through near infinite ancestry to find it.

Whales, pigeons, and many other animals fall hopelessly
in love with their first and only sexual partner.
Scientifically, it is considered a well known fact,
the relevant chemistry in the brain is well understood,
and no further explanation is due.

Comparatively speaking, a catholic marriage is merely wishful.
Even the brain chemistry of motherly Love
is sometimes questionable in humans.

The Tree and the Bus

When a flock of birds starts occupying a tree,
they employ a tactic of Uniform Distribution,
spreading evenly, each maintaining the most territory
at any given moment.

When people enter a bus...

The birds are not unfriendly either.
They have just travelled half way through the planet
together to arrive at this particular tree.
From gradations of psychological paths,
it is likely that Us and Them will behave
in a manner in accordance with a psychological mechanism
much more primitive that has been developed earlier in Evolution
for the purpose of maintaining survival in crowded environments.
Unless, that is,
Evolution has found reason to change this habit in later productions.

The fact that birds and humans
behave the same in this manner,
gives reason to believe,
much like with any other organ or structure,
that this particular behavior originated from an
ancestor with this mental capability,
sufficiently early in Evolution history,
who is a common ancestor of both man and bird.
This would be at least a reptile.
It should not be surprsing to see such behaviour in much earlier forms, and might not be incidental that
such behaviour is also that of chemical particles
in gases and liquids.
It is worth noting however, that Bear Necessities,
such as flight organs, or climate oriented insulation,
have been separately developed in many species,
and only dedicated scrutiny
of the exact mechanisms and other common grounds
can tell us whether, for example,
wings of the variuos species truly have a common ancestor.
We know too little about our own psychology,
let alone that of birds,
to draw solid conclusions in this respect.
