These potential explanations included: entering harsh environments in a large family group offers stronger chances of
survival than as an individual; there is in fact no relationship between the two at all; and that a third variable may be at play, such as female polyandry, when the mother has multiple partners.
1) We're highly evolved primates 2) We have overactive imaginations 3) Our greatest evolutionary asset, our large and highly-folded brains, are also responsible for an insatiable curiosity 4)
As a species, and a survival tactic, we make things up to comfort ourselves in difficult times 5) As a complex societal species, we create commonalities and «traditions» with others in our clan / tribe / community 6) These «traditions» result in security, trust, and strong relationships that make the collective more able to survive than the individual 7) These common beliefs also act as a means of numbing the brain to questions and concerns without legitimate or tangible answers 8) Religion is simply a survival mechanism 9) When we die, we simple «are not alive» anymor

Indeed, new work by Sarah Hrdy (2009) and Lee Gettler (2010) illustrate the important role that direct care and investment by others likely played throughout human evolution, causing scientists to consider that we are really «cooperative breeders» insofar
as individuals other
than the mother have significantly enhanced the human infant
survival.
All of which is to say that this clean - burning cinematic engine may qualify
as a peak Marvel experience, but it isn't a transcendent one; transcendence simply doesn't factor into the calculations of a franchise dedicated more to its long - term
survival strategy
than to the quality of any
individual chapter.
