As human beings, we have inherited a brain from our stone-age ancestors that is particularly alert to the possibilities of danger.
Neuroscientists call this negativity bias.
We are programmed to first notice what’s wrong.
This is also referred to as the “Crocodile Brain”.
I have been talking about the Crocodile Brain for a while but never explained it in details, so I wanted to share with you the reason why the human brain is wired as a Crocodile Brain.
I started putting together the explanation of the Crocodile Brain Syndrome (easy to understand version rather than the Neuroscience deep dive) few years ago which I revised recently.
Enjoy the read and I do want your comments.
