Hi
This is the first time I am posting in Biology forum. I didn't study any biology after grade 10. But I always found it fascinating. So I have a question about the theory of evolution.
Now as I understand it, theory says that the parts of human body, or the behavior tend to get discarded if there is no need of it. So what about the irrational behavior in humans. Has irrational behavior helped us survive. We generally discourage irrational behavior and encourage rational. So in the evolution of our species, why the irrational has survived till today ?
Does it help human survival in some way ?
Thanks
