You're sitting in a safe room, nothing threatening nearby, no immediate danger. And yet your heart races. Your thoughts spiral. Your body tenses as if preparing for something terrible—something that never comes.

This is anxiety. And it's not a malfunction. It's an ancient alarm system running on outdated information.

Over the next two hours, we'll explore why humans evolved the capacity for anxiety without immediate danger, how anticipatory fear kept your ancestors alive by preparing them for threats before they materialized, and why that same system now activates in response to modern worries that don't require physical preparation.

Perfect for: falling asleep, understanding anxiety, evolutionary psychology, anxiety explained, human emotions and evolution, why we feel anxious, panic attacks explained, sleep stories for adults, mental health and evolution.
