Some time ago, in 1984 E.O.
Wilson, a biologist from Harvard proposed a fascinating hypothesis which he
called "Biophilia". And told us that it was an innate interest of
human beings by nature, and why do we have that interest? Well, because it is
adaptive.
Imagine our ancestors in a
natural environment, full of predators and elements of nature that could end
his life. Can you see yourself there? Pay attention now at the sounds of birds
singing, the wild horses grazing in the distance and the sun shining in the
sky. You know that all is well and nothing threatens you. Suddenly the birds
cease his singing and horses flee frighten. All your senses are alert and you get
ready because you know that something bad is coming...
A similar evaluation of the
nature, watching animals in a resting position or in state free from excitement
that suggests the hypothesis biophilia as an indicator of well-being and safety
for humans to observe.
Can you now understand, why do you
feel good with your cat on your knees or because you're with a sense of
security and peace when you see your dog sleep on your bed?
Thank u so much Alma! Let it shine! ;)
