Question

Why did humans develope such an intense need to be "heard"?

Answer 1

Huh?

Answer 2

I have found on this site that many want to shut everyone else up because theirs is the only way forward, and that is why Anthropology is in the state it's in today. They will use any means at their disposal to get rid of the opposition. There is an unfortunate truth which needs confrontation, and it is, fraudulent stories of the past being maintained, as long as any unwelcome evidence to the contrary can be swept under the carpet. This does not, I'm afraid help in any search for the truth. The debate over evolution is a long long way from being settled, and our origins are as much a monkey puzzle now as it was in Darwin's day.

Answer 3

You might have better luck with that question in the psych section but I would guess that each person has an identity in order to be concerned about survival.  I'm special so I don't want that lion to eat me.  I'm special so listen to me. Survival instinct is intense.  That's why I don't understand depression but that is just messed up brain chemicals.
