EP #98 - Negativity Bias: What Happened 70k Years Ago

Something Happened 70,000 Yrs Ago - and humanity is still trying to catch up. Bobby talks about our tendency, as humans, to pay more attention to negative things and where this comes from. In the beginning humans had to pay attention to dangerous and bad things in order to survive...or else we'd die. How come this trait, or gene, hasn't progressed since we're no long hunters & gatherers?
