Abstract: Abstract Humans in the Pleistocene faced external threats to survival and reproduction. Beginning with the invention of agriculture early in the Holocene, the human struggle has shifted inward into a battle for self-control. A technology-driven mismatch between human genes and the modern environment is the source of the increased need for self-control. Perhaps paradoxically, technology provides a path to return to the Pleistocene, at least with regard to certain important aspects of human life.
