The Role of Survival

Posted on 04/05/2025 by Daniel

Professor Perry showed that we are socialised in the first three years if our lives and much of our character and almost all of our personality flows from those early experiences when we can barely talk. When babies are crawling over each other and sharing toys they are also learning about being with another person. In the animal kingdom those early hours and days are key to the individual surviving and this is the same for humans: the language we speak, the traditions of our family, the thinking that went into making the town we grew up in all key into the foundational thinking of our survival.

This is also the root cause of racism and why we think the ‘other’ exists.
