This response is lightning-fast as our ancestors’ survival depended on their capability to immediately respond to external information that was possibly life threatening. And, like it or not, our brain hasn’t changed too much over the past 10,000 years and works by the same mechanisms as our ancestors’ brains did.
Точнее сказать, наш мозг изменился сильно и иерархически – все ранние вплоть до реликтовых функций при деле и лишь получили над собой системную надстройку.
