37、hesame 7R variant to far riskier behaviors,such as addiction and offensive behavior.By comparison,the strongsudden desire to go travelling seems like the better end of the Theory of Evolution.But another theory looks at the psychology of living in our inter-connected human society,one in which weare

39、 than us.In the age of socialmedia,its very easy to compare ourselves unfavorably with the idealized version.How can we compete withinfluencers,with their perfectly dark brown legs on neat and clean white sand,and their once in a lifetime sunsetsover Machu Picchu?Whether the motivation to explore th

40、e world is genetic,psychological or something else,there are far moreharmful hobbies than the desire to explore the world.Venturing outside your comfort zone,to learn about newcultures,meet people you might otherwise never have had the chance to meet,and finally,learn who you are indifferent situati
