Being In The Team
- We voluntarily follow our leaders because good things tend to happen when we do; it pays to be on their team.
- Admiration and prestige-seeking, then, are teaming instincts.
- Our ancestors lived in a semi-permanent "home base" that needed to be guarded collectively.
- This is a prerequisite for the evolution of radical group-level cooperation.
- Our ancestors gravitated toward prestige status because, once we learned to use tools as weapons, the dominance system completely collapsed.
- Another possible explanation is that prestige acts as an indirect form of intimidation.
