>Happiness is a reward from our ancestors >Long-term happiness only comes to those who emulate their successful ancestors The title made sense to me in terms of the subtitle when I read it.

Conversely I've begun thinking depression is a mammalian adaptation to weed out ineffective strategies more quickly.
