Your brain still thinks your being hunted

You're sitting still right now. Nothing is chasing you. And yet something inside you is scanning the room, tightening your chest, flagging shadows that aren't there. That isn't anxiety. That's two million years of survival code running exactly as designed. In this video, you'll discover why your brain was never built for the world you live in — and why the same ancient wiring that kept your ancestors alive is still firing inside you every single day. From the neuroscience of Joseph LeDoux's fear pathways to Randolph Nesse's smoke detector principle to why social rejection lights up the same neural circuits as physical pain, the answer to why you feel the way you feel is far stranger than you think.
